R Documentation
Printing ordinations of velocity and acceleration and differently transformed speed profiles
Description
Given a data frame of a multivariate (vegetation) time series this plots a pco ordination using circles with diameters proportional to rate of change (velocity), a pco ordination pco using cirlces with diameters proportional to change in velocity (acceleration) and three velocity profiles with differently transformed species scores (from quantitative to qualitative).
Usage
vvelocity(pveg, timescale, y, ...)
vvelocity2(pveg, timescale, y=1)
## Default S3 method:
vvelocity(pveg,timescale,y,...)
## S3 method for class 'vvelocity'
plot(x,...,tlabs=c(1),scal=1)
Arguments
pveg
A data frame of a multivariate (vegetation) time series
timescale
A vector of points in time of releves (rows)
y
Transformation of species scores: x'= x exp(y)
...
Additional arguments passed to plot.
tlabs
A vector of releve labels used for annotation of data points in ordinations. See example.
scal
A variable for scaling the circles in the ordinations. Default is scal=1.
x
An object of class "vvelocity".
Value
An object of class "vvelocity" with at least the following items:
pveg
The input vegetation data frame
timescale
The input time scale
y
Transformation of species scores: x'= x exp(y)
