lets.classvar {letsR} | R Documentation |
Frequency distribution of a variable within a species' range
Description
Based on a species Presence-Absence matrix including
variables of interest (see lets.addvar
), the
function divides a continuous variable into classes and counts
the frequency of each class within each species' range.
Usage
lets.classvar(x, groups = "default", pos, xy)
Arguments
x |
Presence-absence |
groups |
The number of classes into which the variable will be divided.
Default calculates the number of classes as the
default for a histogram ( |
pos |
Column number containing the variable of interest. |
xy |
Logical, if |
Value
A matrix
with species in the rows and the variable's
classes in the columns.
