Hi, I'm interested in incorporating some interaction terms between my explanatory variables (distance matrices in this case) when I'm using the function MRM of the package ecodist. The function is doing a multiple regression on distance matrices. I can get the function to work perfectly on my explanatory matrices by adding a (+) sign as known. However, when I try to use the (*) sign or (:) between two terms that I'd like to check the interaction for, I get same results as with just additive model. Is there something that I do wrong? Thanks,
*For example: * > mrm.S10z_A<- MRM(Adis ~ S10z.st+Distance.st, nperm=100) > mrm.S10z_A $coef Adis pval Int 0.553605282 0.06 S10z.st -0.002587542 0.86 Distance.st 0.028866573 0.07 $r.squared R2 pval 0.004180399 0.060000000 $F.test F F.pval 4.634535 0.060000 > mrm.S10z_A<- MRM(Adis ~ S10z.st*Distance.st, nperm=100) > mrm.S10z_A $coef Adis pval Int 0.553605282 0.05 S10z.st -0.002587542 0.80 Distance.st 0.028866573 0.07 $r.squared R2 pval 0.004180399 0.050000000 $F.test F F.pval 4.634535 0.050000 > mrm.S10z_A<- MRM(Adis ~ S10z.st:Distance.st, nperm=100) > mrm.S10z_A $coef Adis pval Int 0.553605282 0.05 S10z.st -0.002587542 0.81 Distance.st 0.028866573 0.11 $r.squared R2 pval 0.004180399 0.050000000 $F.test F F.pval 4.634535 0.050000 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-incorporate-interaction-terms-in-MRM-function-of-ecodist-library-tp4425767p4425767.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
