similar to: canonical correspondence analysis

Hi, from what I understand about the canonical correlation function 'cancor', it looks for correlations in two sets of variables, each represented in matrix form. Right? Sounds exactly like what I need. I have tried the following but I am not sure how to interpret the results. AudioPCs <- c(ArTHarF0PCA$x[,2], ArTHarF1PCA$x[,2], ArTHarF2PCA$x[,2], ArTHarF3PCA$x[,2],

Hi R-users, I am new to R environment.I want to carry out a correspondence analysis on a contigency table with 64 columns and 298 observation of Environmental data.In many cells of the contigency table the frequency is just the value '1'. I got the following error. > CAIV(Eplankton) Error in if (L[i, j] < 0) return("Table L must contain non-negative numbers") :

Dear all, I didn't find any graphical solution in the package "mva" to plot the canonical scores from a CCA (canonical correlation analysis). Does anybody knows how to plot or has anybody already programmed : - the map of the canonical scores, - the graph of the canonical weights, - the correlation circle i.e. the canonical loadings ? Thank you for help ...

Dear members, I am performing multivariate analysis on marine benthic populations using R. At first glance I found ca and VEGANO packages to be the suitable for the task, but neither has incorporated Detrended Canonical Correspondence Analysis (DCCA), which is just the method I want to apply on my data. I've looked for alternative packages containing the method, but my suspicion is that

Hi All, I am using canonical correspondence analysis to compare a community composition matrix to a matrix of sample spatial relationships and environmental variables. In order to parse out how much variance is explained purely by space (S/E) or the environment (E/S) I am using a conditional (partial) CCA. I want to test significance via Monte Carlo but I can not find a way to do this with a

I apologize that this is not precisely about R, but it does fall into the "what would an R user do?" category of questions. My colleague came to me and said "I have data on 20 countries, 4 elections in each one. I have measures for each election on a number of things, and I want to know if the change from one election to the next follows a pattern. For example, is the measure

I think i mentioned this in private communication a while back, but in case anyone else cares: I have a version of canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) coded up in R. I based it on Ter Braak and Prentice (1988) Adv. Ecol. Res. 18:271-317, Ter Braak (1986) Ecol. 67(5):1167-1179, and Ter Braak (1995) Section 5.9 in Jongman, Ter Braak, and van Tongeren "Data Analysis in

Hi, I want to include a vector representing the sites - environmental data correlation in a PCA. I currently use prcomp (no scaling) to perform the PCA, and envfit to retrieve the coordinates of the environmental data vector. However, the vector length is different from the one obtained in CAnoco when performing a species - environmental biplot (scaling -2). How can I scale the vector in order to

Hello everybody, i'm having some trouble performing correspondence analysis with R for Mac OS X. Does anyone know about some useful package? And also, if i had found coordinates of points representing row and column profiles, how do i put them in a single figure with labels identifying each one of them? This thing is getting me almost crazy... Thank you in advance for answering, bye

Hello, I am trying to run a PCA in R and I cannot get the PC scores for each of the values. Using pcX <- princomp(X) then loadings(pcX) I can get a listing of the eigenvectors but not the actual PC scores for each value in the dataset. I greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer Thanks Ken

Hi All I am not clear quite how one could use cca from package vegan and the associated predict.cca to predict species abundance from environmental data (or if this is possible in a generalised way). In other words, can one derive a cca object based on known community data and use that to predict e.g. species abundances in a different number of samples based on environmental data? The help

I am not sure a previous e-mail reached the list (no mail aknowledgement from R-boundle etc.). The question was how to write polygon or segment coordinates into a shapefile set or any other ArcGIS supported format. The library shapefiles seems to do something but the documentation is a bit beyond of my mind.... and I cannot get the meaning of the functions write**** and its application to the case

Here's a question for ecologists on the r-help list-- I'm addressing this to ecologists in particular because they're most likely to be familiar with the equation in question but I'll be happy to discuss the problem with anyone who's willing to take a whack at it. I'm trying to write a function to calculate the large sample variance of species richness estimates by

Hi, I misunderstand the definition of Canberra distance in R. On Internet and in function description pages of dist() from stats and Dist() from amap, Canberra distance between vectors x and y, d(x,y), is : d(x,y) = sum(abs(x-y)/(x+y)) But in use, through simple examples, we find that the formula is : d(x,y) = (NZ + 1)/NZ * sum(abs(x-y)/(x+y)) with NZ = nb of pairs of coordinates that are
