simba - calculate and manipulate similarity matricessimba is an R package dedicated to the calculation of different similarity indices and to the further analysis of similarities. It contains functions to compute Mantel correlation between matrices and vectors and for the automatic calculation of data-points for multivariate Mantel correlograms. Furthermore functions to produce artificial datasets (vegetation data) and to prepare species data for further analysis are available. The package is hosted on CRAN and there you can always find tested binaries. The manual as pdf can be downloaded here. Several developmental versions of the package (beta stage) can be downloaded here. The Mac-versions are build under Mac OS 10.4.10 and R 2.5.1. The Windows-versions are build under XP and R 2.4.1. Help is in most parts without examples and the whole package is in beta-state. Most users will want to download the binary versions from CRAN. If you choose to download from below you can install the package via the GUI or through: install.packages(file.choose(), repos=NULL, type='binary') If you want to install from source please take care that your computer and installed software meets the requirements. Change 'binary' to 'source' then. Installation will fail if you do not have the necessary tools installed.
