similar to: How to reduce memory demands in a function?

I'm looking for an R function that simply recodes a quantitative variable into a number of classes according to specified break-points. Obviously I can do this using nested ifelse() commands, but I want to write it into a function where I can't pre-specify the number of classes. Is there an obvious way to do this? An example to clarify: how to convert c(0,10,5,1,9,6) to

Hello, I'm fitting general linear models using the function lme() from the package nlme. My variables include a number of covariates and a single random factor, because the experiment was laid out in blocks. I'd like to have a statistic to measure the "proportion of explained variance" from my models. With ordinary multiple regression I'd use R-squared, but I can't

Hi, I use rsync to back up my Linux system to hard drive. I use the -av option, and it preserves uids. However if I reinstall Linux, and try to restore from the backup hard drive, the owner permissions get all mixed up, I assume since the numeric uids don't match up with the equivalent usernames any more. For example, user nobody might have had uid 123 in my old system, but now in the new

Dear all, Dose anyone know whether there is a good R packege or program for Mantel's randomization test?

I would like to perform partial mantel tests on only within group values, with "between group" values assigned to NA. This is possible in package ncf partial.mantel.test, however this sues a different permutation to that used in ecodist.ecodist will not accept data with NA values, returning a "matrix is not square error. is it possible to perform this test in ecodist? many thanks

Hi, My name is Radhika Ghosal and I'd like to participate in this year's GSoC in LLVM. I have been using LLVM for a research project for some time now, and would love to contribute to it!

Dear all, Does anyone knows why the results of a BIOENV (PRIMER v. 6.1.15) are diferent of the bioenv() + mantel() in vegan? Not the spearman correlation, indeed the pseudo-p value. I know that the approach bioenv() + mantel() is biased. So, how the BIOENV (PRIMER) ends with larger p values (permutated). Acctualy how the permutation test in BIOENV (PRIMER) is conducted. The user guide does not

Dear R users, I am having a problem performing the mantel test (both with functions mantel {vegan} and mantel.test {ape}) due to I believe the presence of NAs on my distance matrices, which look like e.g.: NA 1 2 1 2 3 NA 4 5 6 and 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Would any of you have a solution for that? Thank you for much for your help! Marcia Rocha -- View this message in

Dear R'ers, When I used S-plus i wrote a small program for a Mantel-Haenszel test for trend (I think it worked). Unfortunately I can't get it working in R. It appears as if my use of 'el' is the problem but I can't sort it out. Error in apply(array, c(, 2, 3), function(el) el * 1:s) : argument is missing, with no default Further down in the program I use 'el'

Does anyone know of an R function for computing the Greenland-Robins variance for Mantel-Haenszel relative risks? Thanks Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University

Dear Dr.Goslee and anyone may intrested in matrix manipulate, I am using your ecodist to do mantel and partial mantel test, I have locality data and shape variation data, and the two distance matrixs are given as belowings. When I run the analysis, it is always report that the matrix is not square, but I didn't know what's wrong with my data. Would you please help me on this. I am quite

Dear all, Has anyone written R code for partial Mantel Tests- as described for instance in Legtendre & Legendre (1998) ? In other words, in a community ecology analysis, I would like to calculate the correlation between two dissimilarity matrices, controlling for a third distance matrix representing geographical distances between sites. Thanks! Christophe Bouget Biodiversité et gestion des

Hi, I am trying to use a mantel test on two distance matrices. The code I have entered for each is: Gen_dists <- read.csv(file.choose(), stringsAsFactors = FALSE, na.strings = c(" "), fill = T,

Hello, I performed a Mantel test and plotted communitiy similarities. I would like to add a least square line. I thought about using abline taking as slope the r-statistic of the Mantel test and calculating the y-intercept analytically. Is this method correct? Is there any function for this calculation?

Hello, I have some satellite tag time-at-depth (TAD) frequency data that I would like some help with. The data was transmitted via satellite as percent time spent in each of 7 depth bins (0m, 0-1m, 1-10m, 10-50m etc.), binned over 6-hour intervals. I categorized each row of data corresponding to a date and time into summer vs. winter, and day vs. night, and then summed and averaged the given

Hi there, I would like to find a more efficient way of permuting the rows and columns of a symmetrical matrix that represents ecological or actual distances between objects in space. The permutation is of the type used in a Mantel test. Specifically, the permutation has to accomplish something like this: Original matrix addresses: a11 a12 a13 a21 a22 a23 a31 a32 a33 Example

Dear R users: In the example of meta-analysis (cochrane, package rmeta), I can not found the p-value of Test for overall effect, and some other indices (Z, I, weight and et al).

I'm trying to perform a mantel test that ignores specific pairs in my distance matrices. The reasoning is that some geographic distances below a certain threshold suffer from spatial autocorrelation, or perhaps ecological relationships become less relevant that stochastic processes above a certain threshold. The problem is that I can't find a way to do it. If I replace values in either or

Hello! It is not really linked to R, but can somebody explain me why we sometimes make a mantel test directly for to distance matrices and sometimes we first make a gradient analysis and then a mantel test between the axis?
