Hi useRs, I am trying to compare several distance matrices obtained from subsets of variables from the same experiment. I put all the subsets in a list and then calculated the distance matrices with lapply. In order to do a mantel test between them I wrote a function the returns a list with the output of single tests. I would like to include the name of the tests, so I know what each element

Dear UseRs, i want to apply mantel test by comparing a list of 124 distance matrices with a reference distance matrix "q". The list of distance matrices was created by the following command.. u<-lapply(el, function(x) dist(x)) where "el" is a data frame of 75 columns and 124 rows. Therefore, the list of distances matrices, made out of it should have 75 elements each

Hello, I am feeling that this question can have a very simple answer, but I can't find it. I need to use the function knn.dist from knnflex library. Whatever I try, I get the error: Error in as.vector.dist(x, "character") : unused argument(s) ("character") First example: > a<-NULL > a<-rbind(a,c(5.2,-8.1)) > a<-rbind(a,c(8.8,-16.1)) >

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

Hi all, This is probably a very simple question but I cannot figure out how to do it. I run the fourthcorner method with my data and would like to adjust the p values for multiple comparisons using Holm correction. When I run the fourthcorner I obtain the results in yellow. What do I need to do to be able to aply the Holm correction to those p values? > library(ade4) > four1 <-

The script below successfully produces a biplot of the data but the 'site names' (rows) and the names of the 'response variables' (columns) are shown as simple numerals (rather than the column and row names). How might I 'enforce' the use of the row/column names used in the datafile (section of datafile shown below)? Can anyone help, please? Section of datafile sample a b

Dear R users, I am having a problem performing the mantel test (both with functions mantel {vegan} and mantel.test {ape}) due to I believe the presence of NAs on my distance matrices, which look like e.g.: NA 1 2 1 2 3 NA 4 5 6 and 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Would any of you have a solution for that? Thank you for much for your help! Marcia Rocha -- View this message in

Hello, I performed a Mantel test and plotted communitiy similarities. I would like to add a least square line. I thought about using abline taking as slope the r-statistic of the Mantel test and calculating the y-intercept analytically. Is this method correct? Is there any function for this calculation?

I'm trying to perform a mantel test that ignores specific pairs in my distance matrices. The reasoning is that some geographic distances below a certain threshold suffer from spatial autocorrelation, or perhaps ecological relationships become less relevant that stochastic processes above a certain threshold. The problem is that I can't find a way to do it. If I replace values in either or

Hello! It is not really linked to R, but can somebody explain me why we sometimes make a mantel test directly for to distance matrices and sometimes we first make a gradient analysis and then a mantel test between the axis?

Does anyone know of an R function for computing the Greenland-Robins variance for Mantel-Haenszel relative risks? Thanks Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University

Hi all, Does anyone know if an R function for the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square for a 2x2 table exists? I’ve also seen it called the randomization Q statistic. Note that I’m not looking for the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel…I did see that out there as cmh.test. Thanks in advance, Jeff Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

I would like to know how to run a partial mantel test controlling for spatial autocorrelation and correlation with other environmental variables. It seems that with function included in vegan for partial mantel test I can only test for the relationship between two variables controlling for the effect of a third one. Thanks a lot Alexandra --- Lic. Alexandra Sapoznikow Centro Nacional

Dear Sir/ Madam, I would like to ask you about mantel test in R. In ade4 package, if I want to use mantel.rtest, I get error massage "Object of class to "dist" expected". As I already have two dissimilarity matrices, shall I again compute distance measure using this function? If not, could you please let me know which function/command I can use to do? Thank you very much in

Hello, I've used mantel tests a fair bit for standard genetic/geographic/landscape analyses. I realize it involves permutations of rows and columns in the matrix to obtain correlation coefficients. However, for a certain question, I am interested in populations that are nearest neighbours to each other, and identifying factors that affect genetic distance between them. So because of

Hi all, I am trying to compare two distance matrices with R. I would like to create a XY plot of these matrices and do some linear regression on it. But, I am a bit new to R, so i have a few questions (I searched in the documentation with no success). The first problem is loading a distance matrix into R. This matrix is the output of a the Phylip program Protdist and lookes like this: 5

Hi everyone, I have two matrices of 2000x2000 size. They consist of a measurement of RMSD deviations of a protein structure. The basic question i want to answer is the following: are there a significant differences between the two matrices? I aim to use the Mantel test. I don't really know if this is a good idea or if there are better solutions for these mega matrices. Thanks [[alternative

Dear Gavin, What is the interpretation of a simulated p-value of 1 in a mantel test and how is the p-value derived? When we run two highly negatively correlated matrices we get this result: r: -1, simulated p value: 1 I would expect the high p-value of 1 to mean not significant. Could you clarify? Thank you, Jason Jason P. Sexton Graduate Group in Ecology University of California,

I would like to perform partial mantel tests on only within group values, with "between group" values assigned to NA. This is possible in package ncf partial.mantel.test, however this sues a different permutation to that used in ecodist.ecodist will not accept data with NA values, returning a "matrix is not square error. is it possible to perform this test in ecodist? many thanks

Hello, I am searching for an R-Package that does an exentsion of the Mantel-Haenszel test for ordinal data as described in Liu and Agresti (1996) "A Mantel-Haenszel type inference for cummulative odds ratios". in Biometrics. I see packages such as Epi that perform it for binary data and derives a varaince for it using the Robbins and Breslow variance method. As well as another pacakge
