Hi,
I'm having some troubles in using the ADE-4 package. I want to analyze data for the Outlying Mean Index in the function 'niche'. I've got two matrixes: one for environmental data and the other for species abundance data. But to implement the analysis, as I understand it, I need to put tocheger these two matrixes in one, as in the example provided with the package. Un fortunately
I don't know how to do this. Could anyone help me?

Not familiar with the application you are rather vaguely describing, but the two functions for "putting two matrices together" would be rbind and cbind depending on whether you want them bound "side by side" or "on top of each other".

(I am reasonably sure that there is no ADE-4 package. This is R ... capitalization and punctuation matter ... please spell package names precisely as they are named.)

For the life of me I cannot see how one uses cbind or rbind for arguments to "niche". It takes as arguments the results of functions that create duality diagrams. The example data set on the niche help page is a 3 element list of dataframes each with 30 rows. So you should should be asking how to create lists of dataframes (not matrices) in a manner that parallels the output of :

library(ade4)
data(doubs)
str(doubs)

You should also be providing a much more complete description of your R objects, at a minimum the results of str on them.


Thank you in advance.
