similar to: Biplot for PCA using labdsv package

Hello, I am using Mac OS X on a power book and R 2.5.0 I try to extract a diagonal from a dissimilarity matrix made with dsvdis, with this code: diag(DiTestRR) But I get this error message: Fehler in array(0, c(n, p)) : 'dim' spezifiziert ein zu großes Array english: Error in array(0, c(n, p)) : 'dim' specifies a too big array. Is there a limit to extract diagonals? I

Hi, I need to run a PCoA (PCO) for a data set wich has both positive and negative values for variables. I  could not find any distancecoefficient other than euclidean distace running for the data set. Are there any other coefficient works with negtive values.Also I cannot get summary out put (the eigen values) for PCO as for PCA.   Thanks. Dilshan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, I would like to find a more efficient way of permuting the rows and columns of a symmetrical matrix that represents ecological or actual distances between objects in space. The permutation is of the type used in a Mantel test. Specifically, the permutation has to accomplish something like this: Original matrix addresses: a11 a12 a13 a21 a22 a23 a31 a32 a33 Example

I am trying to install labdsv from CRAN binaries (or source) to use with R 2.3.0 from Mac OS X, but the package fails to install properly. Here is the message that I receive from R when I type library(labdsv): Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ Resources/library/labdsv/libs/ppc/labdsv.so':

Hi everybody, I am doing Indicator species analysis using the function "indval" from the package "labdsv". For further analysis I need the values "Number of Significant Indicators" and "Sum of Indicator Values" that is calculated from the summary on my indval object. indication3<-indval(Veg,caver3,numitr=4999) summary(indication3) cluster

I am trying to install labDSV from http://labdsv.nr.usu.edu/ into R-Windows 1.5.0. It only comes as a TAR file which extracts into folders that seem to match those for other libraries DATA, MAN, R and SRC. I have manually copied these folders into a folder called labDSV under the Library directory under R. However when I load the library I get a message that the library contains no R code.

I have a general question about using thin plate splines in the surf and ordisurf routines. My rudimentary knowledge of a gam is that with each predictive variable there is a different smooth for each one and then they are added together with no real interaction term (because they don't handle this well?). Now, If I have two variables that have a high D^2 score and a low GCV score (I am

Hi, I'm trying to find out what threshold of indicator value in labadsv should be used to accept a specie as an indicator one? So far I assumed that indval=0.5 is high enough to avoid any mistakes but it was based only in my intuition. I'd be greatful for any advise best regards Agnieszka

Hello. I'm not quite sure what the problem with my samba is. Im running red hat 9 and samba 3.0 and my log has far too much information. this is my samba log: --------------------- samba Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(978) getpeername failed.

Hi; I am working with the similarity matrix below and I would like to plot a two-dimensional MDS solution such as each point in the plot has a label. This is what I did: data <- read.table('c:/multivariate/mds/colour.txt',header=FALSE) similarity <- as.dist(data) distance <- 1-similarity result.nmds <- nmds(distance) plot(result.nmds) (nmds and plot.nmds as defined at

Hello Stephen, I am happy that you help me. Thanks a million. It is a good feeling that you confirm my assumption that dsvdis is not able to deal with missing data, because it says me that I am not completely incapable. Okay now I have the problem what to do. I used this function ´cause there is an option to weight columns differently what I haven´t found in other functions. But now I

Hello you all! I am a completely new user of R and I have a problem to solve. I am using Mac OS X on a PowerBook. I have a table that looks like this: species X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X9 X10 X11 X12 X13 X14 X15 X16 X17 X18 X19 X20 X21 1 Anth_cap1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 Anth_crin1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1

Hello, We are trying to find a function to compute "stress" in our multidimensional scaling analysis of a dissimilarity matrix. We've used "dist()" to create the matrix and "cmdscale()" for the scaling. In order to determine the number of dimensions we would like to plot stress vs. dimensions. However, we cannot find a pre-made command. It seems that other

Hello. Does anyone know of an existing function that takes a list in the form of: Plot1 Species1 Abundance1 Plot1 Species2 Abundance2 Plot2 Species1 Abundance1 Plot2 Species3 Abundance3 . . . PlotN SpeciesN AbundanceN and translates into a matrix in the form of Species1 Species2.... SpeciesN Plot1 Abundance1 Abundance2... AbundanceN Plot2 Abundance1

Dear All, a short and maybe simple question: I have to rank all values in a matrix from 0 to X, [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] 0.1 2 0 3 [2] 50 3 3 1 [3] 100 1 1 0 [4] 100 2 2 0 0->0 0.1->1 2->2 3->3 50->4 100->5 (X=5) is there any function for this? i have looked in several packages (vegan, labdsv etc.) because I am working with species by site tables,

Colleagues, I have a routine in package labdsv that calls a FORTRAN subroutine. Recently, I was informed that it sometimes gives different results on a PC and Mac, and that the PC version is clearly wrong. I tested it on linux (because I don't have a PC), and I get the same (incorrect) behavior as the PC. Simply by inserting debug WRITE statements in the FORTRAN I would get different,

Dear friends, I cannot load the pachkages labdsv...which i do not understand is linked to 'mgcv' package. Anyway neither the last is loadable in my new R 2.10 version. Th emessage on the screen is the following: This is mgcv 1.6-1. For overview type `help("mgcv-package")'. Error in runif(1) : .Random.seed is not an integer vector but of type 'list' Error :

Dear R developers and users! I have calculated metric MDS by cmdscale from matrix of distances (dissimilarities). I would like to ask you how can I estimate how well this new mapping represents characteristic features of my data set? Thank you for any suggestions. Best, tomek

Dear R-users: Im trying (using gam package) to develop a stepwise analysis. My gam object contains five pedictor variables (a,b,c,d,e,f). I define the step.gam: step.gam(gamobject, scope=list("a"= ~s(a,4), "b"= ~s(b,4), "c"= ~s(c,4), "d"= ~s(d,4), "e"= ~s(e,4), "f"= ~s(f,4))) However, the result shows a formula containing the whole

Hi everybody, I know this might be very off topic and it took me quite a while to up my courage to post this?. But I remember a thread some time ago about how we can find the packages we need to do specific tasks in R if we don?t know before hand which ones actually do it. Now all the packages are listed alphabetically on the web site. Since I am not very advanced in writing my own functions I
