RADanalysis: Normalization and Analysis of Rank Abundance Distributions

Implementation of the MaxRank normalization method, which enables standardization of Rank Abundance Distributions (RADs) to a specified number of ranks. Rank abundance distributions are widely used in biology and ecology to describe species abundances, and are mathematically equivalent to complementary cumulative distribution functions (CCDFs) used in physics, linguistics, sociology, and other fields. The method is described in Saeedghalati et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005362>.
