- New coef.dcca() and fitted.dcca() functions with predict.dcca() adapted. The function coef() can give fourth-corner correlations and regression coefficients.
- Patch release with extended test files and associated small corrections, for example, SDS (standard deviation of predictors) was in v1.2.1 a constant factor too large with the default of the argument divideBySiteTotals (the regression weights and t-values were correct).
- Patch release addressing check errors on several CRAN build machines.
- Intial CRAN release
- An issue with collinear predictors in v1.1.5 has been resolved.
- The package can now do general dc-CA, instead of the vegan-based version with
equal site weights only. For users of the previous version, the function
dc_CA_vegan has been replaced by the more general function dc_CA.
The default gives the same analysis. By specifying
the argument
divideBySiteTotals = FALSE
, obtain the original dc-CA analysis with unequal site weights. - The
plot_dcCA
function is now a method:plot.
- General dc-CA required weighted redundancy analysis. For this, a new function
wrda
has been added, with methods for print, scores and anova. - A
predict
function has been added. - A dc-CA can be computed from community-weighted means (CWMs) with
trait and environment data with species and site weights. See the new function
fCWM_SNC
. This is of interest, for example, to make a dc-CA analysis reproducible when the abundance data cannot be made public, and it may also allow to perform dcCA with intra-species trait variation. The user needs to be able to compute meaningful CWMs in this case and supply trait data that reflect the (species-weighted) inter-trait covariance. - Several functions are updated. In particular, there are corrections to the anova function.
- The
scores.dccav
function is corrected concerning intra-set correlations for traits and environmental variables. - The plotting functions are updated to avoid ggplot2 warnings on color and size.
- The fitted straight lines in the plots use the implicit weights (they did already, but the help said they did not).
