matrix help (first occurrence of variable in column)
...es occurrences (0/1
values, columns). I want to count the number of new species that occur
at a given time sample. For the matrix above the answer would be 1.
Is there a simple way to figure out if the species has never occurred
before and then sum them up?
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Kruskal's MDS results
Dear List,
I'm trying to interpret the results of the Kruskal's Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling algorithm (isoMDS, MASS package).
The 'goodness of fit' is reported as "The final stress achieved (in percent)".
What does this mean exactly? I've tried to google for an answer but I've not come up with a definitive answer.
Regards,
Dieter

Data manipulation question (opposite of table?)
Dear R users,
I am a new user (probably obvious by my question) and
have really learned a lot from reading this list.
Thank you all very much. My main struggles with R are
with data manipulation.
So here is my question...
I have data that is organized as below, this is a
short example.
value count

etc...

p-value for Nonmetric Multidimentional Scaling?
Dear R-helpers,
I am running metaMDS in the vegan package, which uses isoMDS in MASS, to perform Nonmetric Multidimentional Scaling (NMDS).
I have seen some authors report a p-value for the NMDS ordination based on randomization of the dataset. As I understand it this is meant to compare the stress in your dataset to multiple runs of randomized data.
I do not see a way to perform such a test in

package to convert coordiantes to timezone
Is there a R-package with a function that returns me the timezone, if
I hand over longitude and latitude?
I know online services like
http://ws.geonames.org/timezone?lat=-38.01&lng=147 and
http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm#timezone and wodner if this
exists for R too.
Thanks for helping,

Dear R-helpers,
I have a data frame that is similar to the one below.
The row names are species and the E1, E2, E3 columns are presence/absence for a given site. I have an additional column 'origin' which has information about the species.

vegan metaMDS
Hi,
I'm trying to use metaMDS with a dissimilarity matrix of angles, not
Bray-Curtis, and I wanted to know if there is an in-built function to
produce a plot of stress values against dimensions, that could be used to
determine the 'true' dimension of the solution. The number of objects is
only a lowly 8 so any solution higher than 2-dimensional is not likely to be
interpretable,

Dimensional reduction package
Is there any R package which implements non-linear dimensionality reduction (LLE, ISOMAP, GTM, and so on) and/or intrinsic dimensionality estimation ?

how to import map data (maptools?) from a html set of 'coords'
Dear R users,
I would like to draw map and import it in maptools/spatstat packages.
The 'raw data' I have come from a web page (<map>...</map>) and are
basically a list of coordinates of a polygon.
I would like to know how to import them in R; I checked the maptools
packages, but all the examples use existing .dbf files.
I just have a (serie of) text file(s) looking like

NMDS Ordination Graphics Problem
Dr. Stevens,
Hi, my name is Trey Scott, and I'm a grad student of Brian McCarthy's. He

We were hoping you could help us solve a nagging problem that is prohibiting
me from producing graphicl output.

I use the geonames webservices with the R geonames packages which works almost smoothly.

Calculation time of isoMDS and the optimal number of dimensions
Dear all,
I'm running a set of nonparametric MDS analyses, using a wrapper for isoMDS,
on a 800x800 distance matrix. I noticed that setting the parameter k to
larger numbers seriously increases the calculation time. Actually, with k=10
it calculates already longer than for k=2 and k=5 together. It's now
calculating for 6 hours, and counting...
There is quite a difference between the

metaMDS and envfit: Help reading output
Hello R experts,
I've used metaMDS to run NMDS on some fish abundance data, and am also working on correlating environmental data to the NMDS coordinates. I'm fairly new to metaMDS and NMDS in general, so I have what are probably some very basic questions. My fish abundance data consists of 66 sites for which up to 20 species of fish were identified and counted. I ran metaMDS on this data

R Output and ArcGIS
Dear all,
I've been using R on a Mac to process some data for export to ArcMap GIS (which only runs on Windows). ArcMap seems to require tab-delimited data (my data are in 3 columns), so I've been using the sep="\t" argument. However, this resulted in strange end-of-line characters when displayed on a PC. I looked in the write.table help file to find that eol="\r\n"

Three most useful R package
Hi R-fans,
I would like put out a question to all R users on this list and hope
it will create some feedback and discussion.
1) What are your 3 most useful R package? and
2) What R package do you still miss and why do you think it would make
a useful addition?
Pulling answers together for these questions will serve as a guide for
new users and help people who just want to get a hint where to
