similar to: Help get this simple function to work...

I have a function (see below). This function has one object, ID. If I run the loops by itself using a character value (ie,"VFFF1-7"), then the loops work fine. However, when I try to insert the character value via the function call, it doesn't work. I don't get an error, but the TotalCover.df dataframe does not update according to the loop criteria. Any obvious problems that

I have created a list of tables with the same columns but different number of row. Example (actual list has ~200 elements): > temp1<- data.frame(ID=c("Herb","Shrub"),stat=c(4,5),pvalue=c(.03,.04)) > temp2<- data.frame(ID=c("Herb","Shrub", > "Tree"),stat=c(12,15,13),pvalue=c(.2,0.4,.3)) > L<-list(a=temp1,b=temp2) > L $a

I am basically trying to append a value(vector) to one dataframe using a relational value from another dataframe. Obviously, I can use a loop to accomplish this. However, is there a way to vectorize it? Example: > data <- data.frame(c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3),rep(2,9)); names(data) <- > c("Sample","Score") > meta <-

Hi, I am having problems trying to assess the significance of random terms in a generalized linear mixed model using lme4 package. The model describes bird species richness R along roads (offset by log length of road log_length) as a function of fixed effects Shrub (%shrub cover) and Width (width of road), and random effect Site (nested within Site Cluster). >From reading answers to previous

Hi Helpers: I have a factor object that has 314k entries of 39 land cover types.

Dear All I have a problem with the height of the boxes in the key in the following. (The text is over 2 lines to accentuate the problem of no space between the rectangles.) Is there an easy way to put a space between the rectangles; size controls the width but there appears to be nothing for the height? xyplot(1~1, key = list(corner = c(0.8,0.8),

Hopefully the attachment will make it this time... Hi: I am practicing with the attached shapefile and was wondering if I can get some help. Haven't used 'rgdal' and 'maptools' much but it appears to be a great way bring map data into R. Please take a look at the comments and let me know if I need to explain better what I am trying to accomplish. library(rgdal)

Dear R-helpers, I have a time series analysis problem in R: I want to analyse the output of my simulation model which is proportional cover of shrubs in a savanna plot for each of 500 successive years. I have run the model (which includes stochasticity, especially in the initial conditions) 17 times generating 17 time series of shrub cover. I am interested in a possible periodicity of shrub

Hello all, I have a data set where the response variable is the percent cover of a specific plant (represented in cover classes 0,1,2,3,4,5, or 6). This data set has a lot of zeros (plots where the plant was not present). I am trying to model cover class of the plant as a function of both total nitrogen and shrub cover. After quite a bit of research I have come across a conditional approach

Hello useRs, I have some problems when I try to plot a lattice. The lattice has 200 columns (X value) and 5 rows (Y value), with a total of 1000 squares. I want to plot this lattice with the squares having different colours according to a variable value. The variable I want to plot is cover value of a shrub, and it has values between 0 and 1. I want to plot the squares with value 1,

If I have a data frame where a species occupies several rows with different phases such as (both col's ar factors): species,phase Populus tremula,1 Populus tremula,2 Populus tremula,3 Calluna vulgaris,1 Calluna vulgaris,2 Betula alba,1 Betula alba,2 Betula alba,3 Primula veris,1 Primula veris,2 and another df where each species only have one row: species,growth_form Populus tremula,tree Acer

Hi all, I'm using spatstat to investigate the spatial structure of an arid shrub population. The first-order intensity of my data does not appear to be homogenous, so I would like to use inhomogeneous techniques. I realise there is a inhomogeneous K-function available in spatstat, but there doesn't not appear to be one for the pair-correlation function (O-ring statistic). As such I was

Hi everybody, Well, I really hoped that until now i know how to do a selection ..... but obviously i don't. So risking your laughing at me - here you go. I have a table with lots of vegetation data, and one column specifies in which region the data is. There are only 2 regions, region 1 and region 3. I want to select all data that belong to region 1 and after do some xtabs on it. If i do

Hi, My name is Jos?? Mar??a G??mez, and I am pretty new in R. Thus, I apologize deeply if my questions are extremmely na??ve.I have checked several available books and URL's, without finding any answer. I'm trying to fit Generalized Linear Mixed Models via PQL. Below I provide the structure of my data set. Year and Plot are random variables. Fate is the binomial dependent. I have severe

Problem: I am sorting through model selection process for first time and want to make sure that I have used glm, stepAIC, and update correctly. Something is strange because I get a different result between: 1) a glm of 12 predictor variables followed by a stepAIC where all interactions are considered and then an update to remove one specific interaction. vs. 2) entering all the terms

Hi all, I am using quadratcount in spatstat to divide a window containing a point pattern into a grid of quadrats containing the intensity of points in each quadrat. My data is in UTM co-ordinates. My window is defined as follows: >p15<-ppp(x,y,window=owin(c(341710,342100),c(3126465,3126780)),marks=NUL L, checks=TRUE) Giving me a distance of 390m in the 'x' direction and 315m in

Hi, I know there are older threads discussing the quadratcount function in spatstat. Unfortunately, I could not find a solution to my problem there. I'm analyzing a point pattern in an irregular polygonal window. Both the window (an entire country) and the points are projected using WGS84. When I do quadratcount with only one quadrat for the entire country it holds all my 154 points:

I have been looking into both of these approaches to conducting a GLMM, and want to make sure I understand model specification in each. In particular - after looking at Bates' Rnews article and searching through the help archives, I am unclear on the specification of nested factors in lmer. Do the following statements specify the same mode within each approach? m1 = glmmPQL(RICH ~ ZONE,
