Hi list,

I'm attempting to re-create a Repeated Measures Compositional Analysis 
as
  described in the work by Aebischer et. al. (Ecology. 1993. 74(5): 
1313-1325).

In this paper they describe transitions of data into a log ratio 
difference matrix, from which they obtain two matrices using a monova 
routine.

I am able to produce the second of the two matrices, but I'm having 
trouble with the first.

the difference matrix going in is given here.

Animal	Scrub	Bl wood	Con wood 	Grass
1	0.970	-2.380	-5.154	-9.408
2	1.217	-0.173	-4.955	-5.521
3	1.178	-0.248	-4.089	0.338
4	0.520	0.466	-4.801	-1.946
5	8.445	9.319	10.753	8.171
6	8.654	9.327	10.732	8.152
7	8.429	9.350	10.818	8.141
8	9.120	9.565	3.813	8.127
9	9.227	9.882	3.813	7.779
10	9.423	8.086	3.813	8.539
11	9.626	9.392	3.813	8.135
12	9.234	8.302	3.813	8.537
13	8.672	8.908	9.832	8.416


And the first of the matrices is given here, and is "matrix of 
mean-corrected sums of squares and cross products calculated from the 
difference matrix."


	Scrub	Bl wood	Con wood 	Grass
Scrub	179.52	214.59	244.58	273.75
Bl wood	214.59	268.44	314.35	343.86
Con wood 	244.58	314.35	471.09	400.22
Grass	273.75	343.86	400.22	477.78


 From manova on the data set I can get the diagonal of the matrix, but 
not the others.

manova(y ~ NULL)

Terms:
                 Residuals
Scrub            179.5273
Bl.wood          268.4347
Con.wood         471.0845
Grass            477.8014
Deg. of Freedom        12


Could anyone offer a suggestion ?

Thanks


Ken
