Extractor function to identify and select appropriate analysis weights from Co-correspondence Analysis models.

# S3 method for symcoca
weights(object, ...)

# S3 method for predcoca
weights(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class "symcoca" or "predcoca".

...

arguments passed to other methods. Not used.

Value

A numeric vector of common site weights is currently returned. These correspond to \(R_{0}\) in ter Braak and Schaffers (2004).

envfit.coca uses these weights to estimate weighted correlations in ordination space. See coca for details on creating CoCA models.

Examples

od <- options(digits = 4)
## symmetric CoCA
data(beetles)
data(plants)

## log transform the bettle data
beetles <- log(beetles + 1)

## fit the model
bp.sym <- coca(beetles ~ ., data = plants, method = "symmetric")
#> 
#> Removed some species that contained no data in: beetles, plants
