Hi! Thanks for providing great help in R-related statistics. Now, however I'm stuck. I'm not a statistics person but I was recommended to use R to perform a nmds plot and PerMANOVA of my dataset.
Sample(treatment) in the columns and species (OTU) in the rows. I have 4 treatments (Ambient Temperature, Ambient temperature+Low pH, High temperature, High temperature+low pH), and I have 16 different species (OTUs). Firstly I want to make a nmds plot and see how different the treatments are. Meaning how the species covaries with the environment, I can produce a plot but don't understand how to interpret it and I get an error message. Then I want to make a PerMANOVA analysis comparing the different treatments with each other. I tried to look at similar problems but I get error messages. Any ideas? #NMDS step1<-read.delim2("day20.txt", row.names=1) library(clusterSim) step2<-data.Normalization(step1,type="n10") step3<-asin(sqrt(step2))*57.3 step4<-t(step3) library(vegan) step5<-data.matrix(vegdist(step4,method="bray")) step6<-metaMDS(step5, autotransform=FALSE) plot(step5) Warning message: In ordiplot(x, choices = choices, type = type, display = display, : Species scores not available #PerMANOVA step1<-read.delim2("day20.txt", row.names=1) library(clusterSim) step2<-data.Normalization(step1,type="n10") step3<-asin(sqrt(step2))*57.3 step4<-t(step3) library(vegan) step5<-data.matrix(vegdist(step4,method="bray")) attach(step5) step6<-adonis(step5~Sample1+Sample2+Sample3,data=step5) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
