Thanks for the gracious assistance in advance I'm working on a non-metric scaling problem and am calculating the distance for input to isoMDS
Here is the code library(MASS) vegdata <- tapply(Percent, list(PRIMARY_VE, MASTERID), sum) x.mat <- matrix(x, nrow=40, ncol=2750, byrow=TRUE, dimnames = c(dimnames(x)[1], dimnames(x)[2])) vegdata.dd <- dist(x) vegdata.dd <- ifelse(vegdata.dd==NA, 0.01, x.dd) vegdata.dd Everything works as expected until I try to replace the NA values in the distance matrix. the ifelse statement converts the entire dataset to NA. What am I doing incorrectly? Once again, Thanks Steve Steve Friedman Ph. D.
