Re: [R-sig-eco] Clustering large data

2008-10-24 Thread Dave Roberts
Thierry and Hadley, Sorry to be late coming into this (I forgot I subscribed to sig-eco). package labdsv has a function called matrify() which takes a three column data.frame (sample,taxa,abundance) and creates a full (sparse) matrix representation. I've never tried it on a data set

Re: [R-sig-eco] multivariate smoothing and gradient estimation

2009-09-16 Thread Dave Roberts
Chris, One (sub-optimal) solution would be to fit GAMS and then have the gam.predict estimate values immediately near your data points which you could use to calculate a local gradient. If the GAM is reasonably smooth, I would think you could get estimates that were reasonable. Dave --

Dear List, Earlier this year on an (undoubtedly ill-advised) lark I coded up an R version of TWINSPAN. It's far from a polished package at this point, but the code does run. One of the interesting features is that you can partition a PCO or NMDS in addition to the traditional CA. To be

Hi Kátia, Sorry to be so late; just back in the office. Pedro is correct that adonis will help establish statistical significance to potential differences, but I think NMDS could still be very helpful. One approach would be to code the sites by glyph (e.g. site 1 = circle, site 2 =
