bwca.dpcoa: Between- and within-class double principal coordinate...

In ade4: Analysis of Ecological Data : Exploratory and Euclidean Methods in Environmental Sciences

Description

These functions allow to study the variations in diversity among communities (as in dpcoa) taking into account a partition in classes

Usage

bwca.dpcoa(x, fac, cofac, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2, ...)
## S3 method for class 'dpcoa'
bca(x, fac, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2, ...) 
## S3 method for class 'dpcoa'
wca(x, fac, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2, ...) 
## S3 method for class 'betwit'
randtest(xtest, nrepet = 999, ...)
## S3 method for class 'betwit'
summary(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'witdpcoa'
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'betdpcoa'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class dpcoa
fac	a factor partitioning the collections in classes
scannf	a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues barplot should be displayed
nf	if scannf FALSE, a numeric value indicating the number of kept axes
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods
cofac	a cofactor partitioning the collections in classes used as a covariable
nrepet	the number of permutations
xtest, object	an object of class betwit created by a call to the function bwca.dpcoa

Value

Objects of class betdpcoa, witdpcoa or betwit

## Classical DPCoA

## Between DPCoA (focus on the effect of vegetation type)
bdp <- bca(dp, fac = soilmicrob$env$VegType , scannf = FALSE)
bdp$ratio ## 0.2148972
randtest(bdp) ## p = 0.001

## Within DPCoA (remove the effect of pH)
wdp <- wca(dp, fac = soilmicrob$env$pH, scannf = FALSE)
wdp$ratio ## 0.5684348

## Between Within-DPCoA (remove the effect of pH and focus on vegetation type)
wbdp <- bwca.dpcoa(dp, fac = soilmicrob$env$VegType, cofac =  soilmicrob$env$pH, scannf = FALSE)
wbdp$ratio ## 0.05452813
