Unsure about the mantel test result

[B-1991-ing]

Hi Houyun,

I carefully looked into the changing trend of my two matrixes, and not sure my command lines were right. So, could you please help me have a check? I attached my data and code.

data_and_code.zip

Thank you very much.

Best,

I had no problems after the test, and can you tell me what your problem is?

library(linkET)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
data_o <- read.table(file.choose(), sep="\t", row.names = 1, header = TRUE)

O_e <- read.table(file.choose(), sep="\t", row.names = 1, header = TRUE)

###mantel test
mantel_oms <- mantel_test(data_o, O_e,

Thank you Houyun.

My problem is that all significant relationships are denoted as positive relationship instead of some significant positive relationship and some significant negative relationship. I know I asked once. Sorry for the double asking. Maybe you can close the question.

Best,

I think it's OK.

Finally, it's better to email me for similar questions rather than an issue, since it's not a question about linkET package.
