Hello all, I'm new in R, and I have a data-frame like this (dput information below): Specie Fooditem Occurrence Volume 1 Schizodon vegetal 1 0.05 2 Schizodon sediment 1 0.60 3 Schizodon vegetal 1 0.15 4 Schizodon alga 1 0.05 5 Schizodon sediment 1 0.90 6 Schizodon

Dear List, I am thinking about ways in which I might analyse some stratigraphic data. The nature of the data series I have generates a number of issues: 1) The data I have in mind come from a sediment core sequence taken from the bottom of a lake. The sequence is sliced into a priori defined slices, in this case 0.2cm per slice. in this way a sequence of 0.2cm slices is produced for the

Hello All, I have a data frame (dput information below) with food item weight for fish species. I need to calculate the Mean proportion by weight of each food item for each specie, as show in solution data frame (dput information below). I use the ddply function (plyr package) in two steps. First calculate the proportion of weight for each individual: step1 = ddply (example, .(ID), transform,

Hi, I?m trying to make a barplot with the following dataframe, with information on relative frequency per sediment type (ST) for some species: Species ST1 ST2 ST3 SP_A 10 60 30 ... At x-axis are (should be ...) the species names and at y-axis the frequency per sediment, in stacked bars. I tried to use barplot command but with no results. Could anyone help me on this? Thanks in

Hi all. Has anyone ever done a Deming Regression in R? I'm wondering if there's a simple way to do it. Thanks for all your help! -Ed -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deming-Regression-tp17949318p17949318.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear Colleagues, I am attempting to develop an optimization routine for a river suspended sediment mixing model. I have Calcium and Magnesium concentrations (%) for sediments from 4 potential source areas (Topsoil, Channel Banks, Roads, Drains) and I want to work out, based on the suspended sediment calcium and magnesium concentrations, what are the optimal contributions from each source area to

Hi, All Thanks to Robert Baskin, Thomas Lumley, and Spencer Graves for the valuable helps. I have learned a lot from this discussion. I put all discussions together without editing, so we can see how things are evolved. Likely, I have a lot of articles to read. As in the discussion, mixed modeling approach is a poosible but may be over-kill in my posted data analyses. I will explore other

Fellow R users, I'm using the BCE {BCE} function to run a Bayesian sediment mixing model. The aim is to find the optimum % contribution from each of the 4 source areas that can yield the target geochemistry. I have geochemistry for 4 source areas called Rat: Rat<-read.table(text="CaO MgO Na2O Al2O3 Topsoils 2.511250 0.7445500 0.7085500 14.10375 ChannelBanks

Dear R users, I have a question about the patterned variance-covariance structure for the random effects in linear mixed effect model. I am reading section 4.2.2 of "Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-Plus" by Jose Pinheiro and Douglas Bates. There is an example of defining a compound symmetry variance-covariance structure for the random effects in a split-plot experiment on varieties of

I currently work on a draft of an aquatic bioassessment. The conditions tested are the following: ER river water T dechlorinated water control 0.5 + 0.5mg / L of malate T + 1 dechlorinated water control + 1g / L of malate T ED dechlorinated water control SED + ER + river water sediment SED ED + sediment + water dechlorinated. It is the result of AChE in muscle (fillet of fish). The production of

Hi, I have a dataset which has var1 from 1 sourse and var2 from 2 different methods. I need a new variable such that var2 values from both methods can beused as 1 variable. I believe deming regression can be used to do this. I just don't know how to do it. My data looks like: idvar1var2method1var2method2 11.22.1NA 21.62.4NA 31.52.2NA 41.3NA2.8 51.6NA3.1 61.4NA2.7 Please help. Sincerely,

Hi all I have been trying to use the randomForest package to model insect species abundance in different habitats and identify the key variables (landscape/climate etc) in determining abundance, which has all worked fine and I get nice variable importance plots etc. Many thanks to everyone on this help forum who has given tips/advice along the way. But the percentage variance explained /pseudo r

Surely you hear plenty about what''s not working, so I thought I''d shoot a quick message on something that did work. I got Windows Server 2008 RC2 installed. I have yet to even activate it and prove all internal features/devices work, but installation alone satisfied me! I had to fight a couple issues and I''ll mention them here, i think they''d be pretty

Dear everyone, I would like to create a kite chart in which I plot densities (width of the vertical kites) in relation to sediment depth (on reversed y-axis) for 6 different locations (Distances from seep site, on x-axis on top of the plot). The dataset I would like to use is: Distance_from_seep_site Sedimentdepth Density 1100 0 107.8 1100 1 264.6 1100 2 284.2

Hi Does R have a proceedure/software for capture recapture? Thank you. Lawrence Lessner Please respond to LLessner at nycap.rr.com

Hello there, Is there a functionality or command that generates axes in the shape of a capital Greek letter gamma (upside down L) ? I use these for making sediment profiles. I have read through help-lists, tried different things and asked several people but never got a satisfactory result. I've tried the following: xx <- c(2,4,6,5.8,5,4,3,1.5,0, 0, 0, 0) yy <- (0:-11) plot(NULL,

Dear R helpers, I would like to model temporal trend of biological remains in sediment cores. All samples are temporally auto-correlated and I would like to take this effect into account. Initially I thought that I could use AR(1) or ARIMA functions but these functions only work with regular temporal intervals between samples. Hence I would like to use a continuous time AR(1) that allow

I've got a song that causes the vorbis plugin for xmms to crash while reading the vorbis equivilent of id3 tags. What is the proceedure for reporting bugs like this.

Dear R users, I am trying to use "muhaz" and "plot.muhaz" functions in "muhaz" package to estimate and plot hazard funciton. However function "muhaz" always gives error message "Error in Surv(times, delta) : object "times" not found". I could not even run their sample codes in the user's manual as follows: data(ovarian)
