This vignette demonstrates the BetaStability package using
linearPred with the Ponds dataset from the rioja
package.
First, install the package from GitHub:
# Install from GitHub
# install.packages("devtools")
# devtools::install_github("gaoyu19920914/betaStability")
# OR install from BioConductor (in the future when it's available)
# if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
# install.packages("BiocManager")
# BiocManager::install("betaStability")Load the BetaStability package and the rioja package for test data:
library(betaStability)
library(vegan)
library(ggplot2)
# Check if rioja is available and install it to load dataset
if (!requireNamespace("rioja", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("rioja")
data("Ponds", package = "rioja")comtable <- Ponds$spec
envmeta <- Ponds$env[, 6:19]
# Calculate stability with linearPred
stability_rioja_linear <- betaStability(
comtable = comtable,
envmeta = envmeta,
method = "linearPred"
)
# Inspect the result
