Hello all you helpful people out there! I am stil R Beginner using R 2.5.1 on a Apple Power Book G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.10 .
Perhaps you haven´t understood my question in the mail yesterday. So I will try to describe my problem in a different way You see the tables. I would like to test the variables between the tables. But for some variables in some species , I have more than 1 possibility. Example: if the variable is leaf form coded by numbers. The species Anth-crin could have the form round or elliptic coded with 1 and 2. So there is written 12. But the two numbers should be treated separately. Is there a possibility in R to have a classe with ambiguities? Or do I have to recode my variables in a different way to handle this? I really hope you understand now what I mean. If not please ask me. I would be very pleased, if somebody could help me. Here are the two tables: MalTabChi X1 X4 X6 X8 X10 X14 X21 X24 X29 X38 X43 X50 X67 X76 X78 X80 X82 X84 Anth_cap 1 1 1 1 6 5 1 45 12 4 12 6 56 5 2 4 1 1 Anth_crin 12 1 1 2 76 5 1 45 256 2 25 56 56 345 2 23 1 2 Anth_eck 12 1 12 1 7 5 12 5 14 45 2 56 4 5 2 34 1 12 Anth_gram 2 1 1 1 6 5 1 25 25 23 25 45 5 45 2 23 1 12 Anth_insi 2 1 1 2 63 5 1 4 2 2 2 45 45 45 12 3 1 23 Anth_laxi 12 1 1 12 7 45 1 5 245 23 5 46 56 345 2 23 1 12 Anth_sing 1 1 2 1 7 2345 1 4 129 2345 12 46 4 5 23 2 1 1 Aski_albo_ari 3 1 1 2 6 5 2 46 2 34 15 34 5 5 3 4 1 1 Aski_alt 13 1 1 2 6 5 2 4 2 3 15 46 5 5 2 34 3 1 Aski_and 1 1 2 2 6 5 2 5 <NA> <NA> 1 36 4 5 3 3 3 1 Aski_capi 3 1 1 2 63 5 2 5 2 3 5 45 4 5 3 3 1 1.............
