Hi R Helpers, I'm still new to R and i experience many difficulties..I'm using vegan package (R version 2.11) trying to calculate checkerboard units for each species pair of a matrix. I've prepared the function:
pair.checker=function (dataset) {designdist (dataset, method="c("(A-J)x(B-J)", terms ="binary", abcd=FALSE)} to use with function oecosimu as follows: oecosimu(dataset, pair.checker, "tswap", nsimul=5000, burnin=0, thin=thin, statistic="pair.checker") It seemed to work but the output did not include each species pair name. I don't know what to do. First column was all NAs. I copied and pasted the results of the console and named each species pair in Excel by hand. But then I got this really big matrix with 3828 possible species pairs. The console couldn't show all posssible species pairs even after resetting the max.print option. I've tried saving the output as: save(out, file="d:/eva", ascii=TRUE) but I first got a blank txt file and then when I retried the method I got Error in file (file, "wb"):cannot open the connection. I can't use write.table either (I got the message that the output is class dist...) . Thank's in advance Eva -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/lost-in-vegan-package-tp2400145p2400145.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
