[R-sig-eco] How to accommodate data with negative values for Canonical Correspondence Analysis in R using vegan Package

2014-02-26 Thread Rajendra Mohan panda
Dear All I have temperature data with negative values which I am not able to include for my CCA ordination. Kindly suggest how can I go with the analysis without ignoring the data with negative values. With best Regards Rajendra M Panda SWR, IIT KGP [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Rajendra, Would converting the temperatures to degrees Kelvin work? (You cold back-transform after analysis when presenting results/figures.) Cheers, Phil On 2/26/2014 6:43 AM, Rajendra Mohan panda wrote: Dear All I have temperature data with negative values which I am not able to include

It depends *where* to include negative values. Negative values are OK as constraints (environmental variables, right hand side of the model formula). However, all marginal sums of the response data (left hand side of the model formula) must be above zero. It is technically possible to have some

Whenever I hit this problem I add the minimum to all scores so they now range from 0 and above. If necessary I can back transform. As I haven't changed the ratio the parameters coefficients have the same meaning, so interpretation is no problem. (Although the intercept may now change and be
