Dear all, I am working with taxonomic data, represented as a list of classes, orders, families, genera and finally species. > class(mydata) [1] "data.frame" > mode(mydata) [1] "list" > names(mydata) [1] "tclass" "torder" "tfamily" "tgenus" "tspecies" > length(mydata$tclass) [1] 161590 The first 10

Hi all, I would love to plot my data with R. I have abundance and frequency of fungal taxonomic data that should be plotted in the same graph. In Microsoft Excel is that possible but the graphic result is, as always, very poor. Is there a function that may let me plot these data in R? I have a matrix made of two columns, on is the relative abundance and the other is the relative frequency for

Hi, I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to sort out some data in R. I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria in hierarchical order. A sample of this file can be generated using: tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection(' G9SS7BA01D15EC Bacteria(100) Cyanobacteria(84) unclassified G9SS7BA01C9UIR Bacteria(100) Proteobacteria(94) Alphaproteobacteria...

Hello, I have a problem to treat my data. I seek the orders being able to treat under sampling: I have X samples divided into 10. How to take, in a random way, under sample from the 1st sample, and in addition, one under sample of the 2nd sample, and so on to X to calculate the average taxonomic richness of the selection. Then I would like to know how to renew the experiment by taking

Hi there, I am just starting in R and this might be a very basic question. I applied one on the examples of pairs() to my own data. The examples shows scatter plots on one side of the matrix and the correlation coefficients on the other which works well. I then modified it slightly because I want different colors in the plots. Now i am getting the error of unused arguments, because the color

I've a data frame with this structure: 'data.frame': 1987 obs. of 11 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 24 levels "B(W)","BC-1",..: 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate : Date, format: "2000-07-18" "2000-07-18" ... $ tclass : Factor w/ 8 levels "Annelida","Arachnida",..: 1 5 5 5 5 ... $ torder : Factor

The new package RFLPtools is available on CRAN. RFLPtools provides analysis functions for DNA fragment molecular weights (e.g.\ derived from RFLP-analysis) and nucleotide sequence similarities. It aims mainly at the identification of similar or identical fragment patterns to evaluate the amount of different genotypes gained from environmental samples during diversity studies and at further

Dear all, I'd like to introduce a new R package called *phylogram,* for working with evolutionary trees as deeply-nested lists known as "dendrogram" objects. The package provides functions for importing and exporting phylogenetic trees in the Newick parenthetic text format, as well as several functions for command-line tree manipulation. With an emphasis on speed and computational

Hi List, I am looking for a variable selection procedure with a forward-backward selection method. Firstly, it is meant to work with the cophenetic correlation coefficient (CPCC) and intended to find the variable combination with the highest cophenetic correlation. Secondly, it is aimed at Gower metric with wards method (though this could be easily extended) aimed at categorical data. What I

At last year''s Xen North America Summit in Boston, I gave a talk about memory overcommitment in Xen. I showed that the basic mechanisms for moving memory between domains were already present in Xen and that, with a few scripts, it was possible to roughly load-balance memory between domains. During this effort, I discovered that "ballooning" had a lot of weaknesses, even though
