Dear list,
I have a matrix showing the species presence-absence on a map.
Its rows are map locations, represented by GridCellID, such as GID1 and GID
5.
Its columns are species ID, such as D0989, D9820, and D5629.
The matrix is as followed.
Now I want to merge the GridCellID according to the map location of each
island.
For instance, Island A consist of GID 1 and 5. Island B consist of GID 2,
4, and 7.
In GID 1 and 5, species D0989 are both 1.
Then I want to merge GID 1 and 5 into Island A, with species D0989 as 1.
The original matrix and the resulting matrix are listed below.
Please kindly advise how to code the calculation in R.
Please do not hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.
Thank you in advance.
Elaine
Original matrix
D0989 D9820 D5629 D4327 D2134
GID 1 1 0 0 1 0
GID 2 0 1 1 0 0
GID 4 0 0 1 0 0
GID 5 1 1 0 0 0
GID 7 0 1 0 0 1
Resulting matrix
