Hello
I've been asked to help evaluate a vegetation data set, specifically to
examine it for community similarity. The initial problem I see is that the
data is ordinal. At best this only captures a relative ranking of
abundance and ordinal ranks are assigned after data collection. I've
been trying to find a procedure in R that can handle ordinal based
classification and so far have not found one.
Does one exist ? If there is one, which package supports this type of
analysis and what is the function ?
Thanks in advance.
