similar to: Adonis and nmds help and questions for a novice.

Hi! Thanks for providing great help in R-related statistics. Now, however I'm stuck. I'm not a statistics person but I was recommended to use R to perform a nmds plot and PerMANOVA of my dataset. Sample(treatment) in the columns and species (OTU) in the rows. I have 4 treatments (Ambient Temperature, Ambient temperature+Low pH, High temperature, High temperature+low pH), and I have 16

Hi, I'm trying to use adonis on a subset of data from a dataframe. The actual data is in columns 5:118, and the first four columns are various factors. There are 3 levels of the factor Habitat, and I want to examine differences among only two of them. So I started with: > CoastNear = subset(gel_data, Habitat != "I") The resulting data.frame has three levels for Habitat, but

I am trying to apply a permuation-based MANOVA (Anderson 2001) to a set of morphological data from three ecomorphs of fish reared under two different conditions and measured at two points during ontogeny. I will supply a distance matrix based on Procrustes distances calculated outside of vegan. I have not found an example of a design such as this for adonis. However, I have designed my factors

Hello all, I used google and looked at the documentation to find out why the ADONIS function is called adonis (in the vegan package). I am writing a document and would like to include a abbreviation list (similar to "ANOSIM = Analysis of Similarities"). regards, Steve

Hi, I was wondering if someone can tell me what is the difference between "strata" argument (function "adonis" in "vegan" package) and using random effects in PERMANOVA+ add-on package to PRIMER6 when doing permutational MANOVA-s? Is the way permutations are done the same? Thank you very much in advance, Vesna -- View this message in context:

hello list, i'd appreciate help regarding formula expression in adonis(), package vegan. i'm interested in the effect of an impact on species composition and if this effect is the same for different sites. i have an impact survey with plot pairs, one plot with impact the other with similar ecolgical conditions but without impact, which is the control (factor1: impact). two different

Dear all, I am trying to get a PERMANOVA with quite large data set. I am reading a lot about this question, but I do not get the answer about it. Although I know that the R function is adonis () (vegan package), it does not work: adonis(Pha.env~SPha, data=Pha, permutations=10) The error message: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 334.2 Mb In addition: Warning messages: 1: In vegdist(lhs,

Hi, Somebody knows how to make contrasts if i'm using the function adonis? Thanks.

I am trying to apply this technique (M.J Anderson 2001) to a dataset of aquatic insect abundances. There is a sample in the unrestored and restored segement of a stream for every time period. I would like to compare the centroids of the distance matrices for the treatments up (unrestored) and dn (restored) to see if there is a difference in insect communities between the treatments. I will not

Hi, Using Vegan package I was wondering if there's a way to use a distance matrix as an input for adonis (or any of the other similar hypothesis testing functions) instead of the usual species by sample table. Working in the field of microbial ecology, what I'm trying to do is to overcome the problem of having to use discrete units such as species or OTUs, which are problematic in

Hi, My data.frame "A" has FID like this FID a a b b b c c d d d d Now my second data.frame "B" has age value for a, b, c, d like FID Age a      5 b      7 c      9 d      3 How can search for the Age column in "B" and replace the values in "A" so that my new "A" looks like this FID Age a      5 a      5 b      7 b      7 b      7

Dear R users, has anybody made an attempt to create the soil texture triangle graph in R? For an example see here: http://www.teachingkate.org/images/soiltria.gif I would like to get the lines in black and texture labels in gray to allow for plotting my texture results on top. Any examples or suggestions are very welcome! Thanks in advance, Sander. --

Dear All, I'd like to perform adonis (from the vegan package) rather than amova (in ade4) on some haplotype data, as I have crossed factors. Is there a simple way to tweak the source to allow weights (haplotype frequencies) in a similar way to amova? Best Simon

Dear vegan team, Vegan development happens now completely in github. R-Forge repository is no more in sync with github. I tried to commit all github changes to R-Forge, but a week ago I got a conflict in file and I haven't had time to resolve that conflict. You can follow vegan development and vegan discussion also without signing to github. The system seems to be completely open and does not

Hi all, I'm trying to make multiple lattice contour plots which have the same color key, to allow good comparisons. However, I run into some problems when fitting the plots to the color key. Basically my strategy to tackle this problem was: 1) define a color key for all plots; 2) calculate the variable range for each plot; 3) calculate the range of colors from the color key that correspond

Hi, I'm using nmds command (library vegan) to analyze some fishing data. I'd like to plot not only points, but also the names of species and stations in a specified position. I used the command text(nmds$points[,1], nmds $points[,2],labels=row.names(nmds $points),pos=3,cex=0.5) But the labels are sometimes overlapped. Is there any way to use identify, or a similar command, to plot the

Hi Im currently trying to plot my NMDS data together with fitted variables (envfit funct) on an ordination plot. The plot function shows two displays="sites" and "sp". I was wondering how to plot it so that the sites come up as different points for different sites but the species come up as actual names? It looks a little busy at the moment with everything in.

hello, subsequently to a NMDS analysis (performed with metaMDS or isoMDS) is it possible to rotate the axis through a varimax-rotation? Thanks in advance. Bernd Panassiti

Dear All, I was wondering whether anyone might be able to provide some advice with an nMDS / R problem. I'm trying to run nMDS on a dataset that contains many missing values and was wondering how I can account for the missing values when running nMDS? It seems as though the data are being grouped depending on where the zero values appear. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you very
