extract values from summary of function indval of the package labdsv
Hello, There's a general purpose way to get the members of the object returned by summary functions. What you have tried unsuccessfully is a particular case of that method: assign summary to a variable and see what's int it. si <- summary(indication3) class(si) # see the class of summary object [1] "NULL" Null? It returns nothing so the general purpose method doesn't work. More on this later. Taking a look at the package source, file indval.R, function summary.indval shows how it is done: round(sum(object$indcls),digits=2) So use 'indication3' instead of 'object and get rid of round() to have more decimals. The following should do it. sum(indication3$indcls) As for the value [not] returned by summary, it is recommended that it returns something and have the print out be handled by a print.summaryXXX method. In which case, after seeing of what class, we could have printed the members one by one, in a loop or something similar. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 23-07-2012 17:03, katse escreveu:
Hi everybody, I am doing Indicator species analysis using the function "indval" from the package "labdsv". For further analysis I need the values "Number of Significant Indicators" and "Sum of Indicator Values" that is calculated from the summary on my indval object. indication3<-indval(Veg,caver3,numitr=4999) summary(indication3) cluster indicator_value probability X14 1 0.9423 0.00020004 X10 1 0.8993 0.00040008 ... Sum of probabilities = 22.7643528705741 Sum of Indicator Values = 57.55 Sum of Significant Indicator Values = 17.03 Number of Significant Indicators = 22 Significant Indicator Distribution 1 2 3 10 10 2 I tried to extract them using "summary(indication3)$Sum of Indicator Values" for example, but it doesn't work. Is there a way to get the values? Someone has an idea?
