Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction using Maximum Likelihood Response Surfaces

Description

Functions for reconstructing (predicting) environmental values from biological assemblages using Maximum Likelihood response Surfaces.

Usage

MLRC2(y, x, n.out=100, expand.grad=0.1, use.gam=FALSE, check.data=TRUE, 
       lean=FALSE, n.cut=5, verbose=TRUE, ...)

MLRC2.fit(y, x, n.out=100, expand.grad=0.1, use.gam=FALSE, check.data=TRUE, 
       lean=FALSE, n.cut=5, verbose=TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
 predict(object, newdata=NULL, sse=FALSE, nboot=100,
      match.data=TRUE, verbose=TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
performance(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
summary(object, full=FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
residuals(object, cv=FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
coef(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MLRC2'
fitted(object, ...)

Arguments

y	a data frame or matrix of biological abundance data.
x, object	a vector of environmental values to be modelled or an object of class wa.
n.cut	cutoff value for number of occurrences. Species with fewer than n.cut occurrences will be excluded from the analysis.
n.out	to do
expand.grad	to do
use.gam	logical to use gam to fit responses rather than internal code. Defaults to FALSE.
newdata	new biological data to be predicted.
check.data	logical to perform simple checks on the input data.
match.data	logical indicate the function will match two species datasets by their column names. You should only set this to FALSE if you are sure the column names match exactly.
lean	logical to exclude some output from the resulting models (used when cross-validating to speed calculations).
full	logical to show head and tail of output in summaries.
verbose	logical to show feedback during cross-validation.
nboot	number of bootstrap samples.
sse	logical indicating that sample specific errors should be calculated.
cv	logical to indicate model or cross-validation residuals.
...	additional arguments.
