| Sep 16, 2021 at 1:27 | comment | added | Chris | If you were to simply encode the classes as numeric (IE 1, 2, ..) you would define an ordering over vegcat. Maybe that's right (but from what I know about vegcat it is not). Thus you have k variables each of which is either 0 or 1. You need to one-hot encode. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 1:21 | comment | added | Burton Guster | I see. And with regards to the GLMM - is it possible to run the model with my data as is (forgetting the correlation question for a moment), or is it necessary for me to one-hot encode it? Thank you for your helpful responses! | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 1:02 | comment | added | Chris | One way or another you are dealing with multiple variables. Will need to expand your methods. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 1:01 | comment | added | Chris | Have a look at one-hot-encoding. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 1:00 | comment | added | Burton Guster | Apologies, I don't totally understand your answer. You mean I need a column each for S, M, and T, filled with either 0 or 1, and do a spearman rho for "column S & 50m_short_veg", and another spearman rho test for "column M & 50m_short_veg", and another spearman rho test for "column T & 50m_short_veg"? | |
