createsitepair: Creates Site-Pair Table

In Gdm01: Create Generalised Dissimilarity Models

Description

Takes the lower half of a site-site distance(dissimilarity) matrix and creates the site-pair table. This function is called from the formatgdmData function and should not need to be used directly by the user.

Usage

createsitepair(dist, spdata, envInfo, dXCol, dYCol, siteCol, predMatrices, weightsType, custWeights)

Arguments

dist	The lower half of a site-site distance(dissimilarity) matrix, provided by the formatgdmData function.
spdata	Input species data, the same as the bioData input to the formatgdmData function.
envInfo	Input environmental data, the same as the predData input to the formatgdmData function.
dXCol	Input x coordinate, the same as the XColumn input to the formatgdmData function.
dYCol	Input y coordinate, the same as the YColumn input to the formatgdmData function.
siteCol	site column, taken from either the species or environmental tables
predMatrices	Prediction matrices to be added to the site-pair table
weightsType	the method of determining the site-pair weights
custWeights	custom wieghts, as a vector, if given

Value

A site-pair table with appropriate distance(dissimilarity) and weight columns used for farther GDM analysis.

Note

This function is called from the gdm.formatsitepair function, and the user should not need to access directly.
