I get errors with all your commands and have no idea how to fix them 
without data. There is almost no clue how your data look like so I can not 
simulate them myself. As there is nothing we can try to operate on, you 
probably does not get many answers.

Please provide at least structure of your data

str(wvs.a)

if not some part of it preferably by using 

?dput.

Petr
