It was a dataframe. You aren't giving ade4:::cca a dataframe because you are extracting a single component of that data frame in your call. Witness: > dat <- data.frame(X = rnorm(10), Y = rnorm(10)) > class(dat$X) [1] "numeric" > is.data.frame(dat$X) [1] FALSE The reason ade4:::cca expects a dataframe is that CCA is generally used for a *multivariate* response. Here you are supplying a univariate response.
