[R-sig-eco] Community composition variance partitioning?

2013-12-04 Thread Alexandre Fadigas de Souza
Dear friends, My name is Alexandre and I am trying to analyze a dataset on floristic composition of tropical coastal vegetation by means of variance partition, according to the outlines of a Tuomisto's recent papers, specially Tuomisto, H., Ruokolainen, L., Ruokolainen, K., 2012. Modelling

Hi, That seems a bit odd: can you provide a reproducible example, off-list if necessary? Sarah On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 12:50 PM, Alexandre Fadigas de Souza alexso...@cb.ufrn.br wrote: Dear friends, My name is Alexandre and I am trying to analyze a dataset on floristic composition of

Hi, Not only odd, but impossible. If you have a model y ~ x1, and you *add* a new explanatory variable, you cannot get worse in raw R2. You can get worse in adjusted R2. You can also get worse if you add variables to a matrix for which you calculate distances. So dist(y) ~ dist([x1]) can have

Alexandre, I'll leave it to Sarah to advise you on MRM (and I agree with Jari that the method you're describing is not going to work). I'll just add that it is not clear to me why the predictors (even geographic distance) have to be treated as distances to partition the variance in composition.

Kendra, Something is wrong in X or P; find out what the foreign function call is and then you may be able to track down the offending data problem. Maybe a logarithm somewhere? This is probably not much help; I don't have much experience with envfit. Stephen On 12/03/2013 07:06 PM,

[R-sig-eco] AdehabitatHR package

Hi, I am working on shark satellite tracking data and I’m trying to use the function kernelbb from the *adehabitatHR package *to calculate home range. Some functions from *adehabitatHR *accept the use of a boundary and I was wondering if there is a way to use a boundary with kernelbb? Kind
