IdentifyStructureR Documentation

Copy of the identifyStructure function from Tad Dallas metacom package.

Description

Identifies structure (or quasi-structure) and outputs a classification.

Usage

IdentifyStructure(metacom.obj)

Arguments

metacom.obj

The result of the 'Metacommunity' function, containing a list of 4 elements; the empirical matrix being tested, and results for coherence, turnover, and boundary clumping.

Details

Tad Dallas <tdallas@uga.edu> identifyStructure function no longer maintained in metacom package. see https://github.com/taddallas/metacom. This function was copy-pasted from version 1.4.4 of package metacom with minor modification (fix warning: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used).

Value

Ouputs a classification of the metacommunity.

Note

Quasi structures, as well as 'random' and 'Gleasonian' structures, may not strictly be discernable through the EMS approach, as they rely on inferring a result from a non-significant test ('accepting the null'), which is typically a bad idea.
