Hello,
Could someone please tell me how to find the estimate of inertia for
the second axis of an RLQ analysis using ade4? Using the example from
the ade4 package, I *suspect* that the inertia for the 2nd axis of the
R table would be 4.139332 (see below results summary from rlq1).
However, the row is labeled "12" not "2" which suggests this is not
correct. In addition, this would mean that axis 2 of the RLQ would
explain more than 100% of the inertia of the separate ordination for
dudimil ((100*4.139)/dudimil$eig[2]=176%) which I believe is not
supposed to occur.
Could anyone set me straight by either letting me know how to get the
inertia for axis 2 or that my thinking is perhaps wrong?
Thanks,
John
