Taxa.ord: Ordination Plot For Taxa Groups Using CCA or RDA Analysis

Description

This function consumes an ecology data set, metadata factors, and graphing options, then produces a plot showing the vegan::cca or vegan::rda analysis.

Usage

Taxa.ord(data, is.OTU=TRUE, meta=meta, factors=NULL, 
         group=NULL, rank="g", taxa=10, data.trans="total", 
         plot.species=TRUE, plot.scaling=-1, 
         biplot.scale=NULL, biplot.sig=NULL, biplot.label= TRUE, 
         mode=c("rda", "cca"), choice=c(1,2), main="", 
         cex.point=3, cex.label=1, cex.leg=12, cex.bp=3, cex.text=3,
         file=NULL, ext=NULL, width=10, height=10)

Arguments

data

an ecology data set, either an otu table or a taxonomy abundance matrix.

is.OTU

whether or not the data an otu table

meta

the metadata table to be used.

factors

a named character vector of length 1 or 2 specifying metadata factors for the samples in the OTU table (see Details).

group

a named character vector of length 1 or 2 specifying metadata factors for the samples in the OTU table (see Details).

rank

the rank to select the taxon groups at.

taxa

an integer or a character vector of taxa names at the given rank. if integer, plot the top most abundant taxa, otherwise plot the taxa in the vector.

data.trans

a method used to standardize the OTU table. One of "total", "max", "freq", "normalize", "range", "standardize", "pa", "chi.square", "hellinger

plot.species

whether plot sites or taxa, should be reflex to plot.scaling

plot.scaling

one of the following: 1, 2, 3, or -1. See scaling in plot.cca for detail. See also ordiplot

biplot.scale

a numeric number, length of the biplot arrows

biplot.sig

significance cutoff for biplot to be displayed. Currently disabled because in the function, ordination model calcuated cannot be passed to anova test.

biplot.label

whether or not to plot biplot

mode

one of the following: "cca" or "rda".

choice

the chosen axes

main

title of the plot

cex.point

size of points

cex.label

size of taxa lables

cex.leg

size of lengend name

cex.text

size of taxon names if plot.species is set TRUE

cex.bp

size of biplot labels

file

the file path where the image should be created (see ?RAM.plotting).

ext

the file type to be used; one of "pdf", "png", "tiff", "bmp", "jpg", or "svg".

width

the width of the image to be created (in inches).

height

the height of the image to be created (in inches).

Value

• return a list of following: 1) ggplot object; 2) ordination model; 3) commodity data and 4) metadata used for the ordination model.

Details

group should be a named character vector specifying the names of the columns to be used from meta (see RAM.factors). The values on the axes denote what fraction of the sum of all eigenvalues (i.e. from all axes) is explained by that (single) axis.
