Hi,

we introduced a new function mem.select in adespatial (that used forward.sel)  based on the work by Bauman et al (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ecog.03380) Basically, we showed that you should use a global test before performing forward selection (this step is suggested by Blanchet et al but rarely performed  in ecological studies).

Cheers

Dear Irene,

i found this tutorial very useful:

https://sites.ualberta.ca/~ahamann/teaching/renr690/Lab9.pdf

You basically do a forward selection (forward.sel() from packfor package) using the adjusted R-square (RsquareAdj() from vegan package).

Hope this helps, Tim

Dear all,

I am trying to run a variaion partitioning in using the varpart function in
vegan. I would like to include the geographic coordinates as explanatory
variables so I calculated the principle coordinates of neighbour matrices.
Now I would like to perform a selection of the significant spatial
eigenvectors but I don`t know how to do it in R. Could anybody help me?

data(mite.xy)
pcnm1 <- pcnm(dist(mite.xy))

then I get the pcnm vectors and I would like to select only the
significant ones.

Thanks a lot!
