mvabund: Statistical Methods for Analysing Multivariate Abundance Data

A set of tools for displaying, modeling and analysing multivariate abundance data in community ecology. See 'mvabund-package.Rd' for details of overall package organization. The package is implemented with the Gnu Scientific Library (<http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>) and 'Rcpp' (<http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html>) 'R' / 'C++' classes.
