ll{ Package: indicspecies Type: Package Version: 1.6.7 Date: 2013-01-14 Depends: permute License: GPL (>=2) LazyLoad: yes } Use strassoc for assessing strength of associations and signassoc to assess the statistical significance of the associations (De Cáceres{Caceres} & Legendre 2009). Much more complete functions are multipatt (De Cáceres{Caceres} et al. 2010) and indicators (De Cáceres{Caceres} et al. 2012). Read the package vignette using vignette("indicspeciesTutorial", package="indicspecies") to learn how to use this package.
