statico: STATIS and Co-Inertia : Analysis of a series of paired ecological tables

Description

Does the analysis of a series of pairs of ecological tables. This function uses Partial Triadic Analysis (pta) and ktab.match2ktabs to do the computations.

Usage

statico(KTX, KTY, scannf = TRUE)

Value

a list of class ktab, subclass kcoinertia. See ktab

Arguments

KTX

an objet of class ktab

KTY

an objet of class ktab

scannf

a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed

Author

Jean Thioulouse

WARNING

IMPORTANT : KTX and KTY must have the same k-tables structure, the same number of columns, and the same column weights.

Details

This function takes 2 ktabs and crosses each pair of tables of these ktabs with the function ktab.match2ktabs. It then does a partial triadic analysis on this new ktab with pta.
