Hello,
I am trying to create multiple matrices (to run a PVA) but can't import all
of them from a .csv without the numbers treated as labels and not factors.
I can enter the matrix slowly:
Site05_96 <- matrix(c(0.07,0,0.03,0.00,NA,0.00,
0.09,0.166666667,0.31,0.42,NA,0.00, 0.00,0,0.00,0.00,NA,0.00,
0.00,0,0.00,0.00,NA,0.00,
0.26,0.166666667,0.19,0.00,NA,0.00, 0.58,0.666666667,0.47,0.58,0,0.00),
nrow = 6, ncol = 6,
dimnames = list(c("Vegetative", "Vegetative with herbivory",
"Reproductive",
"Reproductive with herbivory", "Dormant", "Dead"),
c("Vegetative", "Vegetative with herbivory", "Reproductive",
"Reproductive with herbivory", "Dormant", "Dead")))
I would like to list all matrices (for all 12 years and all 4 sites) in one
Excel sheet (.csv) and then read each matrix as chucks of 6 rows. However,
when I try this I either get all the values (the %) in quotes (not as
factors) and if I try to force them with as.factor, it no longer seems to be
a matrix.
AsMi0598test2 <- as.matrix(AsMi05test[1:6,1:6])
X Vegetative Vegetative.with.Herbivory
Reproductive Reproductive.with.Herbivory Dormant
1 "Vegetative" "0.25" "0.13" "0"
"0" "0.08"
2 "Vegetative with Herbivory" "0.50" "0.50" "0"
"0" "0.00"
3 "Reproductive" "0.17" "0.33" "0"
"0" "0.33"
4 "Reproductive with Herbivory" "0.08" "0.67" "0"
"0" "0.08"
5 "Dormant" "0.00" "0.00" "0"
"0" "1.00"
6 "Dead" "0.00" "0.00" "0"
"0" "0.00"
When I add AsMi0598test2 <- as.factor(as.matrix(AsMi05test[1:6,1:6])) I get
this:
[1] Vegetative Vegetative with Herbivory Reproductive
Reproductive with Herbivory
[5] Dormant Dead 0.25
0.50
[9] 0.17 0.08 0.00
0.00
[13] 0.13 0.50 0.33
0.67
[17] 0.00 0.00 0
0
[21] 0 0 0
0
[25] 0 0 0
0
[29] 0 0 0.08
0.00
[33] 0.33 0.08 1.00
0.00
16 Levels: 0 0.00 0.08 0.13 0.17 0.25 0.33 0.50 0.67 1.00 Dead Dormant
Reproductive ... Vegetative with Herbivory
I want to read all matrices into stoch.projection( ) {popbio}
Thanks for any suggestions. I could enter them all in the .txt document if I
can't read them from the Excel sheet.
