Multidimensional scaling in two dimensions
In this exercise, you will perform multidimensional scaling of state.x77 and plot the resulting object locations in a two dimensional space.
Este exercício faz parte do curso
Multivariate Probability Distributions in R
Instruções do exercício
- Compute the distance matrix and assign it to an object
state.dist. - Compute the multidimensional scaling of the data on the distance matrix.
- Use the
ggplot()function to plot the representation of thestate.x77data in two dimensions. Color the state names by their region using the vectorstate.region.
