I'm trying to test a method of identifying individuals (birds) based on measured data (their calls). I have test data from known individual birds, and I am using the Mclust package to see if the program can correctly identify which calls come from different birds. So far, mclust has correctly ID'd the number of birds in the test data set (i.e., the correct # of clusters). However I

Hello! I am doing an analysis on a questionnaire of hunters taken in 4 different districts of some mysterious foreign country. The aim of the study was to gather info on the factors that determine the hunting success of a peculiarly beautiful bird in that area. All variables are factors, i.e. they are variables such as "Use of Guns - yes / no", "Use of Dogs - yes / no" and

Dear R-experts, I have a table with following collumns: State, SamplePlot, Species and BodySize. I sampled bird species at 34 SamplePlots and 5 States (regions) monthly during two years. On each bird record I measured bodysize and identified the species. So I have many records of each species (about 150 species) at each SamplePlot and each Region (State). Now I would like bootstrap

Dear R community, I am trying to create a matrix of permutations of a vector: bands <- c("AL", "B", "DB", "DG", "G", "K", "LB", "LG", "MG", "O", "P", "PI", "PK", "PU", "R", "V", "W", "Y") Each permutation must be 4

Dear R Community, The following seems like a simple problem, but I''ve been stuck on it for some time, with no luck using matching or subsetting functions. I''m trying to remove the rows from a large matrix that match rows in another large matrix. A (small scale) example: col1<-c("A", "B", "C", "D") col2<-c("A",

I'm fairly new to R and still learning how to use it. I could really use some help with the following problem. I have a huge .csv file containing thousands of measurements on 34 different birds. Measurements include longitude, latitude, altitude, speed, time, etc. All birds have a different number (ranging from 121 to 542). All measurements have a tripID (1 for the first trip of every bird, 2

Dear all, I have received some data on birds that looks sth like this: # a unique id for each individual id <- c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,6) # the year the bird was measured year <- c(1995, 1996, 1997, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1996, 1997, 1997, 1998) # the year the bird was hatched year.hatch <- c(1995, 1995, 1995, 1995, 1995, 1995, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1997, 1998)

Dear all, I am experiencing problems using the glmmPQL function in the MASS package (Venables & Ripley 2002) to model binomial data with spatial autocorrelation. My question - is the presence of birds affected by various hydrological parameters? Presence/absence data were collected from 83 sites and coupled against hydrological data from the same site. The bird survey sampling effort

Hello! I'm a college undergrad desperately trying to finish up my thesis. I have a dataset on the distribution of a grassland bird from the Breeding Bird Survey. I have a very straightforward and simple version of the logistic growth model to describe changes in this bird's abundance over time. The variables are the natural birth rate, mortality, and carrying capacity. The equation itself

Hi, I was reading the book on "Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R" by Zuur et al. In Section 6.2, an example is discussed where a gamm-model is fitted, with a smoother for time, which differs for each value of ID (4 different bird species). In earlier versions of R, the following code was used BM2<-gamm(Birds~Rain+ID+

Sorry that I was unclear. For an individual to qualify for my analysis I want both of the following two criteria to be fulfilled: First, I want to select measurement taken at a certain age: for the focal individual the year of measurement (year) should be the same as year.hatch Second, I want the focal individual to be born by a mother that reproduces for the first time. So the /parents /of

hi, we want to replace our nt4 pdc/bdc with samba and we use windows nt4 terminal servers with citrix in our environment. as far as i know, we will get a problem here. (extensiver reading of the mailing list led me to this conclusion) regarding: http://ma.ph-freiburg.de/tng/tng-users/2001-05/msg00224.html >Terminal Server has its own User Manager (which has an extra button -

Hi all, I'm having some difficulty passing arguments into lm() from within a function, and I was hoping someone wiser in the ways of R could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have the following: lmwrap <- function(...) { wts <- somefunction() print(wts) # This works, wts has the values I expect fit <- lm(weights=wts,...) return(fit) } If I call my function lmwrap, I get

Hi, I am doing double for loops to calculate SDs with some weights and wondering if I can get rid of the outer for loop as well. I made a simple examples which is essentially what I am doing. Thanks for your help! -Young #------------------------------------------------------ # wtd.var is Hmisc package # you can replace the 3 lines inside for loop as # sdx[i,] =

Hello, I've been working with "nnet" and now I'd like to use the weigths, from the fitted model, to iterpret some of variables impornatce. I used the following command: mts <- nnet(y=Y,x=X,size =4, rang = 0.1, decay = 5e-4, maxit = 5000,linout=TRUE) X is (m x n) Y is (m x 1) And then I get the coeficients by: Wts<-coef(mts) b->h1 i1->h1

Hi. I am running SAMBA 2.0.7 on HP-UX 11.00 and HP-UX 10.20. I have tried adding the MultipleUsersOnConnection registry key onto my Microsoft Windows NT Server 4 Terminal Server Edition servers, running with Service Pack 6. After I make this change in the registry and reboot my WTS servers all my samba connections from the servers are still being made with one process instead of being split

Dear All Hopefully someone out there can point out what I am missing! I have a (large, several hundred) dataset of gardens in which over two years the presence/absence of a particular bird species is noted each week. I have good reason to believe there is a difference between the two years in the weekly proportion of gardens and would like to assess this, before going on to look in more detail at

Dear R community, I have some questions regarding the analysis of a zero-inflated count dataset and repeated measures design. The dataset is arranged as follows : Unit of analysis: point - these are points were bird were counted during a certain amount of time. In total we have about 175 points. Each point is located within a certain habitat fragment (here: "site"= A-B-C-D-..., in

Dear List, I am running constrained correspondence analysis for abundance data of 7 birds. However, I would like to check which bird prefers which environment gradient by showing the species with different colors of the dots in cca plot (package vegan). Please kindly help and thank you Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, We are attempting to use nlme to fit a linear mixed model to explain bird abundance as a function of habitat: lme(abundance~habitat-1,data=data,method="ML",random=~1|sampleunit) The data consist of repeated counts of birds in sample units across multiple years, and we have two questions: 1) Is it necessary (and, if so, how) to specify the repeated measure (years)?
