[R-sig-eco] graphs in corner of the pane, Windows 10 is the difference

2017-05-05 Thread Michael Marsh
Clustering with mvpart and rpartpca, graphs fill the pane normally in Windows 7 as copied into Word 7, But with the same script and datasets, they only occupy the upper left-hand quarter of the pane in Windows 10 on SURFACE BOOK, again, as copied into a Word 7 document. when I test graphic pa

[R-sig-eco] extent of graphic image in graph pane

I've been using mvpart with graphic output (a tree displaying env. data governing splits), augmented by rpart.pca, to explore environmental relations of vegetation data on my old Toshiba satellite computer with R version 2.15.0 (x32). I've loaded R version 3.3.3 (x64) on a Surface Book. Grap

hello Ansley, You might want to look at the multi-respnse permutation procedure (mrpp in R), which examines the difference among clusters, that is, how much greater similarity the elements of cluster have to each other as compared to the overall similarity of elements of the data. I am not well

All, How can I save (rename as a vector?) the "where" output of plot assignment to groups from mvpart() to use as input to mrpp of the same data? Mike Marsh On 9/10/2015 3:00 AM, r-sig-ecology-requ...@r-project.org wrote: Send R-sig-ecology mailing list submissions to r-sig-ecology@r-pr

Tim, I've used mvpart to cluster, and then rpart.pca the resulting regression clustering. mvpart requires a corresponding environmental data set. The pca plot has what you require, polygons like ordihull based on and showing plots (rows in your data), and vectors to named species. I have assumed

Reading David Warton's reply to Rajendra made me realize that my question (below) is related to his, and that I should specify the objectives of my investigation. I'm interested to see if there are separate, distinguishable plant communities/associations related to environmental variables, and

2015-09-03 Thread Michael Marsh
Is there a method in R for testing for independence of vegetation samples, for example because of relative proximity of different samples? I would like to treat the 3 radially arranged transects of Jornada Line Point Index plots as different sample units. Mike Marsh Washington Native Plant Soci

I am trying to obtain biplots of NMDS results, ideally like the rpart.pca() result with mvpart. Can someone easily tell me why I get this error: Error in 1L:n : argument of length 0 from this script, and graphical output (below) lacking labels for either sites or species? x and y matrices are s

Gian, Your question, "how can I extract the names of the species (and even their abundances) that are common and the species that are not common between the different samples in my dataset?" is a common question in ecological literature about what are called "Indicator Species". These are specie

If you want a measure of exposure, i. e., heat, I suggest using the "heatload" transformation suggested by McCune and Grace (2002). Their assumption is that mid-afternoon, when the sun is in the southwest, is usually the warmest time of day. The formula at the end of Chapter 3 follows: heat l
