Canary Island Fish Paper
Paper gives you manipulated data. Manipulation was Rm. This data is presented in a figure and the values had to be estimated by the reader.
Then worked backwards to get the original 24x7 matrix using formula below.
(z*s) + xm = x
z = standardized data
s = standard deviation
xm = average
average and standard deviation values were given in the paper.
Actual calculations were done in excel.
