Re: [R-sig-eco] Ltraj object without date.end

2013-02-04 Thread Michael Sumner
It looks to me that there must be a missing value in your date vector. It's reproducible with a simple example modified from ?as.ltraj: data(capreochiz) ## Create an object of class "ltraj" cap <- as.ltraj(xy = capreochiz[,c("x","y")], date = c(capreochiz$date[-nrow(capreochiz)], NA),

Hi Folks, I’m having some trouble with creating ltraj objects from irregular GPS data. I run the same code on two different csv files with identical columns, number formats etc but get two different results. The only difference between these files are the values of lat/lon and

[R-sig-eco] AICc calculation in AICcmodavg package

2013-02-04 Thread Kristen Gorman
Dear all, I am curious, how would I find out the exact equation used by the AICcmodavg package in R for calculating AICc with lme models? I understand what the AICc equation is from Burnham and Anderson (2002), but I am unsure as to how the package deals with the number of observations within l

Erin, There have been a lot of similar queries (e.g., repeated measures, nested permanova). Jari can correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, no one has developed a way to define multiple error terms in adonis. You can use adonis, however, to get the split-plot effects. If you want to mak

Thank you very much for clarifying this point. My algorithm is certainly pretty bad because as you say I am basically looking at zeros. One point I don't really understand is that for a pollen type I have a lot of pollen collected at date 1, some at time 2, few at time 3 and not at all at time

I tried to use tweedie and it again worked very well for the most abundant pollen types and when trying to fit the less abundant ones I got the error: "glm.fit: algorithm did not converge". I have the impress that it is hopeless to try fitting a model...But anyway thank you very much for making
