Hello I am using Jari Oksanen's CCA routine from the Vegan package on some estuary data, following a technique applied in (Anderson, M.J. & Gribble, N.A., 1998, Partitioning the variation among spatial, temporal and environmental components in a multivariate data set, Australian Journal of Ecology 23, 158-167). Some steps in the process require that the dependent matrix be constrained by one independent matrix, given the affect of another independent matrix.
eg: CCA of species matrix, constrained by the environmental matrix, with spatial variables treated as covariables or: CCA of species matrix, constrained by the temporal matrix, with environmental and spatial variables treated as covariables Does anyone know of a partitioning routine able to perform this feat or have suggestions on how I might approach the problem from scratch?
