Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

View source: R/low_abundance.R

Description

Calculates the concentration of low-abundance taxa below the indicated detection threshold.

Usage

1
low_abundance(x, detection = 0.2/100)

Arguments

x

phyloseq-class object

detection

Detection threshold for absence/presence (strictly greater by default).

Details

The low_abundance index gives the concentration of species at low abundance, or the relative proportion of rare species in [0,1]. The species that are below the indicated detection threshold are considered rare. Note that population prevalence is not considered. If the detection argument is a vector, then a data.frame is returned, one column for each detection threshold.

Value

A vector of indicators.
