There is no "perhaps" about it. Nonsense phrases like "similar to logit, where I dont [sic] lose normality of the data" that lead into off-topic discussions of why one introduces transformations in the first place are perfect examples of why questions like this belong on a statistical theory dis

Files with .png extensions generally make it through the list so, this attachment should survive. It shows the icons for R on Windows. The first is the icon for the R installation software, the second and third are the icons for the 64bit and 32 bit versions of R respectively. These icons may be

I don't think you have given us enough information. For example, is the 500x500 matrix a distance matrix or does it represent 500 columns of information about 500 rows of observations? If a distance matrix, how is distance being measured? You clarification suggests it may be a distance matrix of

I apologize, I forgot to mention another key operation. in my matrix -1 to <0 has a different meaning while values between >0 to 1 has a different set of meaning. So If I do logit transformation some of the positives becomes negative (values < 0.5 etc.). In such case, the resulting transformed ma

Dear group, My question, perhaps is more of a statistical question using R I have a data matrix ( 400 x 400 normally distributed) with data points ranging from -1 to +1.. For certain clustering algorithms, I suspect the tight data range is not helping resolving the clusters. Is there a way to tran

Looks like you're using remotes::install_github(), which in turn uses remotes::install(). The README https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/254c67ed6502e092a316553f2a44f04b0e595b64/README.md says "Setting R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS=true avoids stopping the installation for warning mes

Hi Sydney, This mailing list is a text-only list so your pictures are not coming through. I am guessing that you are clicking on the setup (installation) program and not on R. That would explain why you are being led to the installation process again. You can try to search for another desktop icon

Hello! I have a Dell XPS laptop that runs windows and once I download and install R, keeping all defaults, when I try to open the application that’s on my desktop, a notification just pops up prompting a re-installation process. I can’t actually get inside R and I’ve followed all of the direct
