GSI: Gini-Simpson diversity index of a trapezoidal fuzzy sample

In FuzzyStatTra: Statistical Methods for Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers

Description

This function calculates the Gini-Simpson diversity index for a sample of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers contained in a matrix F. The function first checks if the input matrix F is given in the correct form (tested by checkingTra).

Usage

GSI(F)

Arguments

F	matrix of dimension n x 4 containing n trapezoidal fuzzy numbers characterized by their four values inf0,inf1,sup1,sup0. The function implicitly checks if the matrix is in the correct form (tested by checkingTra).

Details

See examples

Value

The function returns the Gini-Simpson diversity index, which is a real number.
