I'm trying to write a short loop but it's not working..

So using the ‘d’ function to estimate qD for q=0,1 and 2. The code I have so far for the short loop is
qD <- matrix(NA, nrow=nrow(twice.comm), ncol=3)

but I just get NA in all the cells....

Then I'm using ...

for(i in 1:nrow(twice.comm)){

  • for(j in 1:3){
  • qD[i,j] <- d(twice.comm[i, ], q=j-1)
  • }
  • }

but the error message is... Error in d(twice.comm[i, ], q = j - 1) : could not find function "d"

I'd be very grateful if someone can anyone help with this

Vegan doesn't contain any function with the name d. Please don't abuse our bug tracker for help requests, especially when those questions are nothing to do with vegan.

ooops sorry - totally new to this, signed up today, I had no idea I was in a bug tracker arena and didn't realise I was still in the Vegan category - I meant to just ask a question in the main forum... I haven't used github before today - so just starting to try and navigate round it
