Hello all, I am wondering if there is anyway to create distance matrix for replicated data for example, I have a data like sample pop id var1 var2 var3 var4 1.1 1 a 1 1 0 1 1.2 1 a 0 0 1 0 1.3 1 a 1 1 0 1 2.1 2 b 0 0 1 0 2.2 2 b 1 1 1 1 2.3 2 b 0 1 0 0 2.4 2 b 1 0 1 1 3.1 3 a 0 1 0 1 3.2 3 a 1 1 1 0 3.3 3 a 0 0 0 0 dist(data[,c(4:7)] gives the distance of samples, but I also need the distances of pop ie (1,2,3) and also id (a,b) how can I achieve this??
Just a doubt: does the idea of comparing (ordering) the variable pop and id make sense? Or expressed in more direct way: what would a distance between b and a mean (same for the pop labels)?
