Dear Tracy, You can see if Helene Wagner's mso() in function in vegan satisfies your needs for analysing spatial dependence. Reference and further description in ?mso. Cheers, Jari Oksanen On 02/04/2014, at 00:12 AM, Pinney, Tracy A wrote: > Hello List, > > I have two questions. > > > 1.)

Hi Tracy, You can try this: require (vegan) data(mite) data(mite.env) data(mite.xy) mod<- rda (mite~., data=mite.env) res<-residuals(mod) require (spacemakeR) vario<-variogmultiv(res, mite.xy) plot(vario$d, vario$var, ty='b',pch=20,xlab="Distance", ylab="C(distance)") But, I'm not sure. May

Hello Gavin and R-sig-ecology list, Based on Gavin Simpson's very helpful advice on this forum, I have been modelling biotic and environmental parameters using a generalized additive mixed model of the form mod <- gamm(logit.Area ~ s(DoY, bs = "cc") + s(elapsed.days), data = lldata,

Hello all: I have some questions regarding the kerneloverlap function within the adehabitatHR package, and must offer my apologies if they seem rather base: -I understand that the comparisons between the HR method for kerneloverlap and MCP overlap are often misleading. Why doesn't this method mak

Besides, one can use (I hope) GNU Octave (free, libre, opensource) to do it with the original MatLab code, as Octave is compatible with MatLab. HTH. Martin Gavin Simpson píše v Pá 28. 03. 2014 v 20:44 -0600: > In short, no. I haven't ported the rough code for LOO CV of CCA or > CCA-PLS models. I

[R-sig-eco] residuals in RDA, and test for spatial autocorrelation

2014-04-01 Thread Pinney, Tracy A
Hello List, I have two questions. 1.)How do I generate a matrix of residuals in RDA (I am using rda() in vegan)? 2.)How can I test for spatial dependence (spatial autocorrelation) in the response matrix of a multivariate analysis (RDA in my case)? I have read that you can look at th

[R-sig-eco] Variation Partitioning - RDA predicted values from spatial component with absence/presence matrix

Dear list members, I extracted a matrix of predicted values by the pure spatial model (fraction C in the variation partitioning approach with environmental and spatial variables [i.e.,Y ~ environmental + spatial]) from a matrix of species presence/absence as the following example: require (vegan)

[R-sig-eco] PCA question

2014-04-01 Thread Ana Serronha
Hi everyone, I have read that, loadings (from pca) more than .5 are typically considered strong; loadings between .3 and .5 are acceptable; and loadings less than .3 are typically considered weak, am I correct? However, I can't find a credible reference to use. Can you suggest me a book or a pape
