Dear list,
I am currently trying to match abundance data (71 species of Trichoptera) and species traits (72 traits; 20 categories) to environmental data (53 variables ; 16 categories) based on 25 sites using RLQ analysis. Following the procedures in ADE-4/Fiche thématique 4.4 (Triplet d´analyses des correspondances) three tables were separately processed as follows:
1. An abundance table (25 rows, 71 columns) was processed by COA.
2. A table with environmental variables (25 rows, 16 columns) was processed by MCA (option: Row weighting file .fcpl).
3. A species traits table (71 rows, 72 columns) was processed by FCA without any row weghting.
4. matching two statistical triplets was successfully done (.cmta & .fcta, .flta & .fcta (after ´transpose´)).
But I always have problems with the message "Q & L: non convenient weight" when using the module ´Prepare RLQ analysis´ by:
R: .cmta
L: .fcta
Q: .flta
Can anyone offer an explanation of how to solve this problem?
Regards,
Byungok Ahn
