...no autocorrelation in the residuals is obviously violated. Does anyone have any ideas how to incorporate these spatial effects in my analysis? I have been reading up on autoregressive techniques, but I am not sure if it works with more than one plot. All help is greatly appreciated!

...ave fitted a model using a glm() approach and using a gls() approach (but without correcting for spatially autocorrelated errors). I have noticed that although these models are the same (as they should be), the AIC value differs between glm() and gls(). Can anyone tell me why they differ?

...eal with unequal variance? And if it is better to use a non-parametric analysis, could anyone put me in the direction of the right non-parametric method to use (the relationship between my response variable and the covariates is linear)? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

...ANCOVA the order in which the variables are added to the model matters and that this influences the P-value, but can this make such a big difference? Which P-values are best to use? Also, could this be an indication something is wrong with my model? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

...resamples. Does anyone have an idea on how to get this to work? Or is there another easier way to do this? I hope it is clear what I am trying to do! I have tried looking on the internet and in the R archives, but I can't find what I am looking for. Thanks very much in advance for your help!
