export.nodal {Blaunet} | R Documentation |
Takes any output from nodal functions (niches
, nodal.local
, nodal.global
, or nodal.network
) and presents it in one matrix for further analysis outside of Blaunet or output to disk.
export.nodal(blauObj, niches = TRUE)
blauObj |
An object of class blau initialized with the function blau. User must have called at least one of the following functions: |
niches |
Defaults to |
This function is useful to manipulate the computed nodal Blau statuses and analyze them outside the Blaunet program, either within R or by exporting them to another statistical package.
Returns an object of class data.frame that includes all output from niches
, nodal.local
, nodal.global
, or nodal.network
previously computed by the user. The user must manually call one or more of these four functions prior to calling export.nodal
. Columns are labeled with the name of the measure. Row names are node names provided with the blau function.
data(TwoCities)
b <- blau(TwoCities, node.ids = 'respID', ecology.ids = 'samp')
#blau object will store whatever you compute
b <- nodal.global(b, dev.range = rep(1.5, 10)) # 10 is the number of dimensions
b <- nodal.local(b, dev.range = rep(1.5, 10), focal.niche = 'grppta')
# 10 is the number of dimensions in the command line above
export.nodal(b) #will export global and local
export.nodal(b, niches = FALSE) #suppress niche export
