Dear All, I am using a Procrustes analysis to compare two NMDS ordinations for the same set of sites. One ordination is based on fish data, the other is based on invertebrate data. Ordinations were derived using metaMDS() from the {vegan} library as follows: fish.mds<-metaMDS(fish.data, distance="bray", k=3, trymax=100, wascores=TRUE, trace=TRUE, zero="add") invert.mds<-metaMDS(bugcal.a, distance="bray", k=3, trymax=100, wascores=TR...

Hi! I wish to know if there is any R forum which is meant only for Statistics? I mean where we can clarify our statistics doubts and seek knowledge. I know there are lot many books and internet sites, but 'R forum' has altogether different standard and very high level and one can learn a lot from them.

Hi everybody, I used randomForest to regress invertebrates abundances in least impaired river reaches from some environmental parameters. Then I used these models to predict invertebrates abundances in impaired reaches. Now I would like to model the deviation (observation - prediction) with a set of chemical parameters to see if the deviations from predi...

Greetings How do I do this in R? Checking the Cran site produces a bewildering array of packages that I can't seem to find to load. Surely the main program has this function?

Dear R, I am using stepwise multiple glm to select a subset of variables using the step command. My question is how do you calculate the percentage variance for each parameter in the reduced model. An example of my code thus far is, fit<-glm(Abalone~offset(Area)+Sessile invertebrates+Bare rock+ NCA + Encrusting red algae, family = poisson ()) step(fit) fit1<-glm(Abalone~offset(Area)+Bare rock+NCA+Encrusting red algae, family=poisson()) Thanks in advance Beth Strain _________________________________________________________________ What are you waiting for?

Hello! I am working on a manuscript on sexual dimorphism in an aquatic invertebrate, where we have estimated sexual dimorphism (SD) for 7 different traits in four populations (a total of 28 SD-estimates). We have used the following formula for estimating SD: 100 * (mean male trait value - mean female trait value)/overall trait mean). Then, we have used these SD-estimates to perfo...

Greetings I am attempting to plot observations of a cave aquatic invertebrate dating from 1901-2004. I can come up with a nice lattice plot of the eight sites from which I have data easily enough. However, I'd like to be able to highlight the 0 observations on the plots, i.e., attempts to find it at the site were unsuccessful. I'd like to be able to highlight thes...

Dear list, I performed a multivariate analysis on freshwater invertebrates data. So I obtained coordinates of my samples on the axes defining the first factorial plane (F1 and F2). I would like to see if the positions on my factorial plan could be linked to levels of impairment ('low' vs 'significant') for several water quality pressure categories and wh...
