1.10 Running PERMANOVA
To run PERMANOVA on the Ekofisk data, click on the resemblance matrix and select PERMANOVA+ > PER...
1.6 Test by permutation
An appropriate distribution for the pseudo-F statistic under a true null hypothesis is obtained b...
4.5 Conditional tests
More generally, when X contains more than one variable, we may also be interested in conditional ...
4.4 Simple linear regression (Clyde macrofauna)
In our first example of DISTLM, we will examine the relationship between the Shannon diversity (H...
4.3 Partitioning
Consider an (N × p) matrix of response variables Y, where N = the number of samples and p = the n...
4.2 Rationale
Just as PERMANOVA does a partitioning of variation in a data cloud described by a resemblance mat...
3.9 PCO versus MDS
We recommend that, for routine ordination to visualise multivariate data on the basis of a chosen...
3.8 Distances among centroids (Okura macrofauna)
In chapter 1, the difficulty in calculating centroids for non-Euclidean resemblance measures was ...
3.7 PCO versus PCA (Clyde environmental data)
Principal components analysis (PCA) is described in detail in chapter 4 of . As stated earlier, P...
3.6 Vector overlays
A new feature of the PERMANOVA+ add-on package is the ability to add vector overlays onto graphic...
3.5 Negative eigenvalues
The sharp-sighted will have noticed a conundrum in the output given for the Victorian avifauna sh...
3.4 Example: Victorian avifauna
As an example, consider the data on Victorian avifauna at the level of individual surveys, in the...
3.3 Mechanics of PCO
To construct axes that maximise fitted variation (or minimise residual variation) in the cloud of...
3.2 Rationale
It is difficult to visualise patterns in the responses of whole sets of variables simultaneously....
2.12 Dispersion in crossed designs (Cryptic fish)
When two factors are crossed with one another, there may be several possible hypotheses concernin...
2.11 Dispersion in nested designs (Okura macrofauna)
In many situations, the experimental design is not as simple as a one-way analysis among groups. ...
2.10 Small sample sizes
There is one necessary restriction on the use of PERMDISP, which is that the number of replicate ...
2.9 Dispersion as beta diversity (Norwegian macrofauna)
When used on species composition (presence/absence) data in conjunction with certain resemblance ...
2.8 Choice of measure
An extremely important point is that the test of dispersion is going to be critically affected by...
