Make a site-OTU matrix

Description

makess generates a site-OTU matrix based on a benthic count file. The script assumes that the benthic count file has a field entitled 'OTU' on which the matrix is based.

Usage

makess(bcnt, tname = "OTU", plothist=FALSE, prints = FALSE, nview = 0)

Arguments

bcnt a benthic count file that results from running get.otu or load.revised.otu.
tname Character string specifying the field in bcnt in which the name of the taxon is stored.
plothist Set to TRUE to plot a histogram of the proportion of abundance at each site that is included in the OTU designations
prints Set to TRUE to view statistics on the proportion of abundance at each site that is included in the OTU designations
nview Selects the number of sites to view in which the proportion of abundance included is low

Value

A site-OTU matrix.
