Hi,

I'm trying to use metaMDS with a dissimilarity matrix of angles, not
Bray-Curtis, and I wanted to know if there is an in-built function to
produce a plot of stress values against dimensions, that could be used to
determine the 'true' dimension of the solution. The number of objects is
only a lowly 8 so any solution higher than 2-dimensional is not likely to be
interpretable, according to Kruskal and Wish's book, but this was
nevertheless required and will be useful as I gather more data. I don't have
much experience with multidimensional scaling, so any advice/reading sources
is/are welcome.

Thanks,

Radu
