[R] Classification Analysis

[Rishabh Gupta]

Thanks For your reply
I would really prefer to use R as I am using R for all the other exploratory
analysis that I am doing on the data

P.S.
One question - i make electronic music with ComputerSoftware,too
and i'm statistican - what are the 750 variables and what is your
classification criterium ? (if it is not a secret !)
regards,christian

I have a large of variables (750) because I have a lot of version of each
kind of data. I analyse melody, rhythm, harmony, etc as a different stream
of data. For each one, I calculate a different versions, intervals, contour,
modulo, modulo of interval, etc. For each one of those I perform a different
kind of analysis, basic statistics, complexity measurements, etc. For each
kind of analysis there are five results each. E.g. for statistical, there is
mean, SD, MAD, COV, etc.
After performing all these different conversions/analysis I end up with
about 750 variables (6 * 5 * 5 * 5)
The classification groups are different depending on what set of MIDI files
I am analysing. In some sets the criteria is genre, subject (who played the
piece), composer, extract (which piece of music), etc.
