Dear R listserve members, Does anyone have any thoughts or advice regarding using "metaMDS" versus "isoMDS" functions for conducing NMDS in R? Is one clearly preferred over another? Please respond directly to me at the email below. Any thoughts would be most appreciated! Best regards, Steve LeDuc
Stephen, You should give the packages where you have these functions. However, metaMDS (of vegan) is a wrapper to isoMDS (of MASS). Basically they are the same, except that vegan adds some support wrapping over isoMDS. Cheers, Jari Oksanen
