clo {VGAM} | R Documentation

## Redirects the user to rrvglm

### Description

Redirects the user to the function `rrvglm`.

### Usage

    clo(...)

### Arguments

`...` | Ignored.

### Details

CLO stands for constrained linear ordination, and is fitted with a statistical class of models called reduced-rank vector generalized linear models (RR-VGLMs). It allows for generalized reduced-rank regression in that response types such as Poisson counts and presence/absence data can be handled.

Currently in the VGAM package, `rrvglm` is used to fit RR-VGLMs. However, the Author's opinion is that linear responses to a latent variable (composite environmental gradient) is not as common as unimodal responses, therefore `cqo` is often more appropriate.

The new CLO/CQO/CAO nomenclature described in Yee (2006).
