Diversity index. See details for options. |
zeroes |
Include zero counts in the diversity estimation. |
By default, returns all diversity indices. The available diversity indices include the following:
inverse_simpson Inverse Simpson diversity: $1/lambda$ where $lambda=sum(p^2)$ and $p$ are relative abundances.
gini_simpson Gini-Simpson diversity $1 - lambda$. This is also called Gibbs<e2><80><93>Martin, or Blau index in sociology, psychology and management studies.
shannon Shannon diversity ie entropy
fisher Fisher alpha; as implemented in the vegan package
coverage Number of species needed to cover 50% of the ecosystem. For other quantiles, apply the function coverage directly.
A vector of diversity indices
