On re-reading ?cmdscale I see that I can also use cmdscale(d) on a
full matrix rather than just the lower triangle.
d: a distance structure such as that returned by 'dist' or a
full symmetric matrix containing the dissimilarities.
So how to get a full symmetric matrix from a dataframe like this (toy example)?
x y z
"a" "a" 0
"a" "b" 1
"a" "c" 2
"b" "a" .9
"b" "b" 0
"b" "c" 1.3
"c" "a" 2.2
"c" "b" 1.1
"c" "c" 0
Replacing the corresponding cells in the matrix by their means, I need this:
c 2.10 1.20 0.00
b 0.95 0.00 1.20
a 0.00 0.95 2.10
a b c
E.g. in the original data, the cell (a,b) = 1; (b, a) =0.9. In the
final matrix, (a,b) = (b,a) =0.95
Thanks very much for any help.
