[R] program avail. for simulating spatial patterns?

2007-04-25 Thread Wade Wall
Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a function available in R for simulating
spatial distribution of objects (plants in this case) in order to
simulate sampling of a population .  Specifically, I would like to be
able to change the spatial correlation of individuals.  I don't want
to reinvent the wheel if it already exists.

Thanks,

Wade

Re: [R] lda plotting: labeling x axis and changing y-axis scale

2006-12-22 Thread Wade Wall
Sorry I wasn't clearer.  I believe that it was a specialized function,
but it may have been plot().

What I am basically trying to do is alter the y-axis to represent
frequency and change the labels on the plotting of the linear
discriminant analysis results.  I can't seem to do this with plot(),
if you know another function, that would be great.  Or if you know how
to alter the y-axis and label the two group names,  that would be
great also.  I have been working at it for a while and am kicking
myself for not saving the commands as a script.

Thanks,

Wade Wall

 Wade,
 Are you asking about a specific ploting routine in lda
 or just how to use the basic plot function.  If the
 latter try ?plot.default for what you need.

[R] missing data using BIOENV function

Hi all,

I am trying to use the BIOENV function in the Vegan package and am
wondering if there is a way to perform the function with missing
values.  Is there a way to pass use=pairwise.complete.obs to the cor
function? Or is this the wrong way to approach it?

 have a dataset with rows as plots and environmental data as columns.
I have predicted the values using the following

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I ran a discriminant analysis with some data and want to get a general idea

[R] subset of rows from matrix

2006-07-28 Thread Wade Wall
Hi all,

I have a dataframe of rownames that I would like to extract from a
larger matrix to form a new matrix. I have tried to use subset, in
this manner

x-subset(largematrix, rownames$names=largematrix$rownames)

where largematrix is the larger matrix and rownames$names is the
dataframe with the row names of the rows I want to extract from the
larger matrix.

Of course, I get error messages.  Any suggestions how I should proceed?

Thanks

[R] trim function in R

2006-07-24 Thread Wade Wall
Hi all,
I am looking for a function in R to trim the last two characters of an
8 character string in a vector.  For example, I have the codes
37-079-2, 370079-3,37-079-8 and want to trim them to 37-079 by
removing the last two characters.  Is sub the correct function to use,
and if so how can I specify trimming the last 2 characters?  I have
read the help file, but can't quite figure out how to do it.
Thanks,
Wade

[R] random section of samples based on group membership

2006-07-24 Thread Wade Wall
Hi all,

I have a matrix of 474 rows (samples) with 565 columns (variables).
each of the 474 samples belong to one of 120 groups, with the
groupings as a column in the above matrix. For example, the group
column would be:

1
1
1
2
2
2
.
.
.
120
120

I  want to randomly select one from each group.  Not all the groups
have the same number of samples, some have 4, some 3 etc.  Is there a
function to do this, or would I need to write a looping statement to
look at each successive group?

I basically want to combine the randomly selected samples from the 120
groups into a new matrix in order to perform a cluster analysis.

Thanks,
Wade

I am trying to run a cluster analysis using Sorenson (Bray-Curtis) distance

[R] replace values in data frame

2006-07-07 Thread Wade Wall
Hi all,

I have a three columned list that I have imported into R.  The first column
is a plot (ex. Plot1), the second is a species name (ex ACERRUB) and the
third a numeric value.  I want to replace some of the second column names
with other names (for example replace ACERRUB with ACERDRU).  The original
and replacement values are in separate lists (not vectors), but I can't seem
to find the right function to perform this.  The replace function seems to
only want to work with numbers.

Any clues?

Wade

Re: [R] replace values in data frame

2006-07-07 Thread Wade Wall
The format is like this.

Plot  species   Value

P1  ACERRUB   3
P2  MAGNVIR2
P3  ARONARB   2
etc.

imported using x-read.table(file=filename.txt)

I want to replace a list of values in the 2nd column with another list. For
example, I want to replace ARONARB with PHOTPYR.
list-read.table(file=originalnames.txt)
replace-read.table(file=replacementnames.txt)
I tried to use replace in this manner:

newx-replace(x,list,replace)
however, I get the error message: error in replace, invalid subscript type.

I have tried transforming the above list and modifying the column names
(column 2), but to no avail.  I hope this clarifies a little.  Sorry about
that.

 Without seeing the code you are using, we can only guess a syntax error
 of some sort.  It works fine using the iris dataset:

  head(iris)
   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
 1   5.1 3.5  1.4 0.2  setosa
 2   4.9 3.0  1.4 0.2  setosa
 3   4.7 3.2  1.3 0.2  setosa
 4   4.6 3.1  1.5 0.2  setosa
 5   5.0 3.6  1.4 0.2  setosa
 6   5.4 3.9  1.7 0.4  setosa
 7   4.6 3.4  1.4 0.3  setosa
 8   5.0 3.4  1.5 0.2  setosa
 9   4.4 2.9  1.4 0.2  setosa
 10  4.9 3.1  1.5 0.1  setosa

  iris$Species - replace(iris$Species, iris$Species == setosa,
  NewValue)

  head(iris)
   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width  Species
 1   5.1 3.5  1.4 0.2 NewValue
 2   4.9 3.0  1.4 0.2 NewValue
 3   4.7 3.2  1.3 0.2 NewValue
 4   4.6 3.1  1.5 0.2 NewValue
 5   5.0 3.6  1.4 0.2 NewValue
 6   5.4 3.9  1.7 0.4 NewValue

[R] Way to convert data frame to matrix

2006-06-30 Thread Wade Wall
  I have a text file that I have imported into R.  It contains 3 columns and
316940 rows.  The first column is vegetation plot ID, the second species
names and the third is a cover value (numeric).  I imported using the
read.table function.

My problem is this.  I need to reformat the information as a matrix, with
the first column becoming the row labels and the second the column labels
and the cover values as the matrix cell data.  However, since the
read.tablefunction imported the data as an indexed data frame, I can't
use the columns
as vectors.  Is there a way around this, to convert the data frame as 3
separate vectors?  I have been looking all over for a function, and my
programming skills are not great.

Thanks in advance
