Multidimensional Histogram with R

Suppose we have a data frame like this: dat <- data.frame( a = rnorm(1000), b = 1/(rnorm(1000))^2, c = 1/rnorm(1000), d = as.factor(sample(c(0, 1, 2), 1000, replace=TRUE)), e = as.factor(sample(c('X', 'Y'), 1000,…

Is sklearn.manifold.MDS comparable with MATLAB's mdscale called with the metricsstress parameter?

I am recreating a project that uses multidimensional scaling (MDS) to visualise the data in the final stage. Specifically, the original work uses MATLAB's mdscale with the metricsstress parameter which according to the documentation uses 'Squared…

sklearn MDS crashes my kernel?

I have a 50,000 x 15 numpy matrix with continuous data. I want to use MDS (Multi-Dimensional Scaling) to scale down to 2 components in order to visualise the data in a 2-D vector space. For some reason, whenever I go to run the MDS on my data, my…

Best approach for redrawing weighted 2-D graph when weights change (MDS maybe)?

I'll try to describe my problem as simplest as possible. Assume I have a map where I plot as points the cities within the map. Cities are then connected by line segments representing roads, so now there's a graph with line segments that represent…

How does sklearn.manifold.MDS find point locations when given a precomputed dissimilarity matrix?

I am using sklearn.manifold.MDS to find a MDS solution using pre-computed (non-Euclidean) distances (i.e., I use the attribute "dissimilarity='precomputed'" and call the package with my own dissimilarity matrix). According to the API, the…

Can Kruskal stress be used with metric mds?

On this site(Stress attribute -- sklearn.manifold.MDS / Python), Kruskal stress is used to metric mds. However, looking at the wiki(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling), metric mds uses raw stress and non-metric mds uses Kruskal…
