group	character; Names of columns (=samples) for grouping. If NULL all samples are grouped.

## Not run: 
data(samp)
# transpose data
df <- data.frame(t(samp), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
df[ , 'taxon'] <- rownames(df)
df_w <- get_hier(df, taxa.var = 'taxon', db = 'itis')
rpmc_g(df_w, value.var = 'S3', group = c('S1', 'S2', 'S3', 'S4'))
# using all samples for grouping
rpmc_g(df_w, value.var = 'S3')
# All samples at one time
rpmc_g(df_w)
