[R-sig-eco] nmds

[Sarah Goslee]

Without knowing which of the many nmds() functions out there
you're using:

NMDS doesn't have dependent and independent variables. Can
you explain further what you're trying to do?

The stress should be interpreted according to the documentation of
the particular function you're using, since there are several ways to
calculate it. In general, high stress is bad (here as in so many places).
