Multivariate Autoregressive Modeling for Analysis of Community
Time-Series Data
Description
The MAR1 package provides basic tools for preparing
ecological community time-series data for MAR modeling,
building MAR-1 models via model selection and bootstrapping,
and visualizing and exporting model results. It is intended to
make MAR analysis (sensu Ives et al. (2003) Analysis of
community stability and ecological interactions from
time-series data) a more accessible tool for anyone studying
community dynamics. The user need not necessarily be familiar
with time-series modeling or command-based statistics programs
such as R.
