[R-sig-eco] singletons and doubletons in vegan

2012-02-01 Thread Canning-Clode, Joao
Hi all, I am running species accumulation curves for several data-sets, and am also playing with some estimators with this function in vegan: SF.estimators-poolaccum(SF.data,permutations=1000) SF.estimators # shows data for Sobs, Chao, both Jacks and bootstrap plot(SF.estimators) # illustrates

[R-sig-eco] Fitting growth curve in a species accumulation curve (SAC)

2011-11-28 Thread Canning-Clode, Joao
Dear list, I am kind of new to R. I want to fit the nonlinear Morgan-Mercer-Flodin (MMF) growth model in a species accumulation curve (SAC) run with vegan package in .R. I would very much appreciate if you could give some feedback. My first question is what's the best approach i) grofit

[R-sig-eco] Comparing slopes of SACs - Davies test

2010-12-02 Thread Canning-Clode, Joao
Dear list, I am comparing species accumulation curves (in marine fouling communities) from 12 different ecoregions and I could use some help. One way to do this is to compare the asymptote's location (when fiting a non-linear curve). This is done. However I came across with this Davies test

Hi all, First of all thanks to all for helping me with my previous post on negative binomial. As I mentioned I got a paper back for revision requesting alternative analysis, and I am seeking advice from the forum. I really appreciate any help you could provide. My major question was to

[R-sig-eco] Negative binomial

Hi all, 1st time user here! I am an ecologist working with marine fouling assemblages. I just got a paper back for revision. I am working with count data (species richness). I have used a linear model but the reviewers are recommending the use of negative binomial or Poisson. As far as I could
