| IdentifyStructure {inpdfr} | R Documentation |
Copy of the identifyStructure function from Tad Dallas metacom package.
Description
Identifies structure (or quasi-structure) and outputs a classification.
Usage
IdentifyStructure(metacom.obj)
Arguments
metacom.obj |
The result of the 'Metacommunity' function, containing a list of 4 elements; the empirical matrix being tested, and results for coherence, turnover, and boundary clumping. |
Details
Tad Dallas <tdallas@uga.edu> identifyStructure function no longer maintained in metacom package. see https://github.com/taddallas/metacom. This function was copy-pasted from version 1.4.4 of package metacom with minor modification (fix warning: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used).
Value
Ouputs a classification of the metacommunity.
Note
Quasi structures, as well as 'random' and 'Gleasonian' structures, may not strictly be discernable through the EMS approach, as they rely on inferring a result from a non-significant test ('accepting the null'), which is typically a bad idea.
