Asymmetry Function

Description

asymmetry return statistics from asymmetry analyses.

Usage

asymmetry(delta, z, error.check = FALSE, echo = FALSE)

Arguments

delta	an n by n square asymmetric hollow matrix containing dissimilarities.
z	coordinates (n by p) after symmetric analysis
error.check	extensive check validity input parameters (default = FALSE).
echo	print (intermediate) results (default = FALSE).

Value

ssaf skew-symmetric sum-of-squares-accounted-for

vaf skew-symmetric variance-accounted-for

drifts drift vectors starting from coordinates in z (n by p matrix)

radii n vector with circle radii
