[R-sig-eco] running adonis with continuous dependent and independent variables

[Trevor Gearhart]

HI Everyone,

   I have been reading forums and the Vegan info, and I feel like I am
still unsure if it is correct to run adonis on data sets that consist only
of continuous variables without specific class groupings, I read that
adonis could be used for this sort of application and it would end up
looking at the euclidean distances as a sort of r-squared regression.
However I am having trouble finding actual documentation that this is an
appropriate use of adonis. I know I can run adonis on this sort of data but
wanted to make sure that I am understanding the outputs, and that this is a
viable option.


  Thank you
