cor2dist R Documentation
Convert correlations to distances (necessary to do multidimensional scaling of correlation data)
Description
A minor helper function to convert correlations (ranging from -1 to 1) to distances (ranging from 0 to 2). d = \sqrt{(2(1-r))}.
Usage
cor2dist(x)
Arguments
x
If square, then assumed to be a correlation matrix, otherwise the correlations are found first.
Value
dist: a square matrix of distances.
Note
For an example of doing multidimensional scaling on data that are normally factored, see Revelle (in prep)
