similar to: Using XY location data to calculate ecological parameters

I have data on number of vines per tree for ~550 trees. Over half of the trees did not have any vines and the data is fairly skewed (median = 0, mean = 1.158, 3rd qu. = 1.000). I am attempting to investigate whether plot location (four sites), species (I'm using only the four most common species), or tree dbh has a significant influence on the number of vines per tree. When I

Dear All, I am analysing a dataset on levels of herbivory in seedlings in an experimental setup in a rainforest. I have seven classes/categories of seedling damage/herbivory that I want to analyse, modelling each separately. There are twenty maternal trees, with eight groups of seedlings around each. Each tree has a TreeID, which I use as the random effect (blocking factor). There are two

Hello, After putting together interaction code that worked for a single pair of interactions, when I try to evaluate two pairs of interactions( flowers*gopher, flowers*rockiness) my computer runs out of memory, and the larger desktop I use just doesn't go anywhere after about 20 minutes. Is it really that big a calculation? to start: mle2(minuslogl = Lily_sum$seedlings ~ dnbinom(mu = a,

Hi everybody, I am trying to fit a model with the lmer function for mixed effects. I have an experimental design consisting of 5 field plots. Each plot is divided in 12 subplots where the influence of three factors on the growing of tree seedlings is tested: (1) seed (1 = presence; 0 = absence); (2) seedling species (oak holm vs. pine); (3) treatment (three different treatments). In each of

Dear R users, I have been having problems getting believable estimates from anova on a model fit from lmer. I get the impression that F is being greatly underestimated, as can be seen by running the example I have given below. First an explanation of what I'm trying to do. I am trying to fit a glmm with binomial errors to some data. The experiment involves 10 shadehouses, divided between

Hi, I'm new to R and GLMMs, and I've been unable to find the answers to my questions by trawling through the R help archives. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm running an analysis on Seedling survival (count data=Poisson distribution) on restoration sites, and my main interest is in determining whether the Nutrients (N) and water absorbing polymer Gel (G) additions to the

Hi there, I've looked through the very helpful advice about adding fitted lines to plots in the r-help archive, and can't find a post where someone has offered a solution for my specific problem. I need to plot logistic regression fits from three differently-sized data subsets on a plot of the entire dataset. A description and code are below: I have an unbalanced dataset

Hi, I ran the example on pp. 799-800 from Machael Crawley's "The R Book" using package survival v. 2.36-5, R 2.13.0 and RStudio 0.94.83. The model is a Cox's Proportional Hazards model. The result was quite different compared to the R Book. I have compared my code to the code in the book but can not find any differences in the function call. My results are attached as well as a

Hi All, I am trying to do a survivorship analysis with library(survival)from a data set that looks like this: I followed a bunch of naturally germinated seedlings of an annual plant from germination to death (none made it to reproduce, and died in a period of ~60 days after germination.) I also know the size of the seed of every individual censused. So I am trying to analyze seedling survival as

hello, i try to plot 3 graphs which have the same x.axis underneath each other. i'd like the plots to be aligned without margings between the boxes and draw a single x axis beneath the lowest plot. i managed to get the alignment by setting par(mar), but the middle box is stretched and i cant't figure out how to get around this. par(pin) was my guess, but this doesn't do the job

Hi all, I am trying to run a glm with mixed effects. My response variable is number of seedlings emerging; my fixed effects are the tree species and distance from the tree (in two classes - near and far).; my random effect is the individual tree itself (here called Plot). The command I've used is: mod <- glmer(number ~ Species + distance + offset(area) + (1|Plot), family = poisson)

SSweibull() :  problems with step factor and singular gradient Hello I am working with growth data of ~4000 tree seedlings and trying to fit non-linear Weibull growth curves through the data of each plant. Since they differ a lot in their shape, initial parameters cannot be set for all plants. That’s why I use the self-starting function SSweibull(). However, I often got two error messages:

Hello, all R-users! I am working on fitting a survival analysis model using the coxph function for Cox proportional hazards regression model. Data look like usual: ========================== group block death censor Group1 1 4 1 Group1 1 12 1 ... Group2 30 4 1 Group2 30 4 1 ... Group3 57 16

Hello, I am trying to use the projection.matrix( ) function and am following the example given. I have my data formatted very similar to the test.census example. > str(AsMi05mat) `data.frame': 1854 obs. of 6 variables: $ Tag : num 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 ... $ Year : int 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 1995 ... $ Length : num 34

Dear R-help members I would be grateful if anyone could help me with the following problem: 1: I changed the font style of the plant names (along x-axis, under the bars) to "italic" . How can I avoid that the font in the legend also changes to "italic"? 2. I would like to place the plant names (along x-axis, under the bars) in a way that : a) the first plant name is under the

Dear all I am learning R I am doing Z-test with package 'BSDA' here is my syntax and result: > sdgr.ztest<-z.test(growth[type=='SD'& from_treeline=='above'], + growth[type=='SD'& from_treeline=='below'],alternative = "two.sided", + mu = 0, sigma.x =(sd(growth[type=='SD'& from_treeline=='above'],na.rm = T)), +

Dear All, I would like to make partial sums (or means or any other function) of the values in intervals along a sequence (spatial transect) where groups are defined. For instance: habitats<-rep(c("meadow","forest","meadow","pasture"),c(10,5,12,6)) observations<-rpois(length(habitats),2)

Dear all I was trying to put a title for my plot, but i got this result, > x11(width=10,height=5,title="seedling");par(mfrow=c(1,2))Error in x11(width = 10, height = 5, title = "seedling") : unused argument(s) (title = "seedling")> The title is not taking How can i give a title for the plot (where in need to make 2 plots within a window of x11() ) thanking
