WBMantel

WBMantel is a small program with a specific function - to carry out Mantel tests between pairs of matrices when there is also some substructure in the matrices, so that some observations are within groups and others are between groups. It was written to allow me to investigate the correlation between genetic and chemical distance between ant nests within and between different populations. It is likely to be quite buggy, and will not exit gracefully if you do something it does not expect.

The program can be downloaded here:

For Mac OS X (Universal binary): WBMantel.dmg

For Windows (not tested yet): WBMantel.zip

For Unix (not tested yet): WBMantel.tz

The input file should be a tab-eparated text file with six columns, which represent:

1) The row index of the matrices (ie. a number from 1 to n-1, where n is the number of items to be compared).

2) The group index of the row of the matrix (ie. a number defining which group the row belongs to).

3) The column index of the matrices (ie. a number from 2 to n, where n is the number of items to be compared).

4) The group index of the column of the matrix (ie. a number defining which group the column belongs to).

5,6) The two sets of data to be correlated.

At the moment the program is without documentation, but the program will give lots of output which varies in usefullness.
