Dhats function

Calculation of Disparities

Calculation of Disparities for a MDS model

Dhats(P, D, W, Model = c("Identity", "Ratio", "Interval", "Ordinal"), Standardize = TRUE)

Arguments

• P: A matrix of proximities (usually dissimilarities)
• D: A matrix of distances obtained from an euclidean configuration
• W: A matrix of weights
• Model: Measurement level of the proximities
• Standardize: Should the Disparities be standardized?

Details

Calculation of disparities using standard or monotone regression depending on the MDS model.

Returns

Returns the proximities.
