Thanks, Augi, and others for your responses here! Unfortunately I haven't even taken a statistics course. They threw me into this field class with this JMP program, and told me to analyze my data with it. The graduate student who was helping me reached the limit of her knowledge when she realized that I did not have continous data.

Sorry, chassiswelder, no minitab access. Just JMP.

I'm supposed to be able to find a simple equation in y= mx+b format to plug into the raster calculator of ArcGIS (mapping), to make a predictive model of the population of my sedge.

I've spoken with a couple of faculty members about the issue, and they've given me a couple of other work-arounds. If/then statements to plug in, if I can figure out to plug them into the GIS program. Unfortunately now I haven't gotten an e-mail response from the program's GIS expert to tell me if that's possible. I'm thinking that I'll resort to making my layers transparent, overlaying them, and making a new polygon shapefile layer highlighting every occurance of the specific combination of abiotic factors that I'm dealing with.
