Here I want to briefly mention the shuffleSet() function and illustrate it’s usage. Every time you call shuffle() it has to interpret the … Continue reading → [Read more...]

In a previous post I introduced the permute package and the function shuffle(). In that post I got as far as replicating R’s base function sample(). Here I’ll briefly outline how shuffle() can be used to generate restricted permutations. shuffle() … Continue reading → [Read more...]

Multivariate ordination methods are commonly used in ecology to investigate patterns in species composition in space or time. Constrained ordination methods such as redundancy analysis (RDA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) are effectively just multiple regressions, but we lack the … Continue reading → [Read more...]
