alienData: Formatting data and return an 'alienData' object

In TheoreticalEcosystemEcology/alienR: Comparative analysis of interaction inference methods

Description

alienData is used to check the data, if correct it returns an object of class alienData.

Usage

alienData(
  adjMat,
  traitFrom = NULL,
  traitTo = NULL,
  traitDistFrom = NULL,
  traitDistTo = NULL,
  phyloDistFrom = NULL,
  phyloDistTo = NULL
)

Arguments

adjMat	An adjancency matrix. The rows (From) species are influencing the column (To) species.
traitFrom	A data.frame containing the traits of the row (From) species.
traitTo	A data.frame containing the traits of the column (To) species.
traitDistFrom	A dist object containing the distance between pairs of traits of the row (From) species.
traitDistTo	A dist object containing the distance between pairs of traits of the column (To) species.
phyloDistFrom	A dist object containing phylogenetic distance between pairs of row (From) species.
phyloDistTo	A dist object containing phylogenetic distance between pairs of column (To) species.

Details

This function is essentially designed to make sure the names of all components match in the right order. The output of this function is at the basis of all the analyses implemented in the alien package.

Value
