makeDistancesAndWeights

Makes distances and weights for MDS analyses (see epMDS).

Makes distances and weights for MDS analyses (see epMDS).

makeDistancesAndWeights(DATA, method = "euclidean", masses = NULL)

`DATA`	A data matrix to compute distances between row items.
`method`	which distance metric should be used. `method` matches `dist`; Two additional distances are avaialble: "correlation" and "chi2". For "chi2" see `chi2Dist`. Default is "euclidean".
`masses`	a diagonal matrix (or vector) that contains the masses (for the row items).

`D`	Distance matrix for analysis
`MW`	a list item with masses and weights. Weights are not used in `epMDS`.
