Hi Julie,
there is no translation available for co-inertia analysis
documentation. So, i'll try to help you... To produce a coinertia
analysis:
The two tables must have the same number of rows (same individuals).
So , you must transpose your site/species table to have the species
as rows (as for the species/traits table). To make the transposition,
you can use MatAlg > Transposition
The Next step consist in analysing the two tables separately but you
must use the same rows weights for the 2 analyses. The number of axes
that you choose has no importance.
After, you run the Coinertia module with the matching two statistical
triplet analysis option. This option verify that the number of rows
and rows weight are the same in the two triplets.
Then, you can test the link between the two tables with a row
permutation test (Coinertia test). To run the coinertia analysis, use
the Coienrtia analysis option of the coinertia module. Then, you can
use the different files to interpret the results.

Sincerely.
