Description

ChaoShared: Estimation of shared species richness between two communities/assemblages based on three types of data: Type (1) abundance data (datatype="abundance"), Type (2) incidence-frequency data (datatype="incidence_freq"), and Type (2B) incidence-raw data (datatype="incidence
_raw"); see SpadeR-package details for data input formats.

Usage

1
2
ChaoShared(data, datatype = c("abundance", "incidence_freq", "incidence_raw"),
  units, se = TRUE, nboot = 200, conf = 0.95)

Arguments

data

a matrix/data.frame of species abundances/incidences.

datatype

type of input data, "abundance", "incidence_freq" or "incidence_raw".

units

number of sampling units in each community. For datatype = "incidence_raw", users must specify the number of sampling units taken from each community. This argument is not needed for "abundance" and "incidence_freq" data.

se

a logical variable to calculate the bootstrap standard error and the associated confidence interval.

nboot

an integer specifying the number of bootstrap replications.

conf

a positive number 1 specifying the level of confidence interval.

Value

a list of two objects:

$Basic_data_information for summarizing data information.

$Estimation_results for showing a table of various shared richess estimates, standard errors, and the associated confidence intervals.

(3) DESCRIPTION OF MODELS FOR ESTIMATING SHARED SPECIES RICHNESS:

Homogeneous: This model assumes that the shared species in each community have the same discovery probabilities; see the Eq. (3.11a) of Chao et al. (2000).

Heterogeneous (ACE-shared): This model allows for heterogeneous discovery probabilities among shared species; see Eq. (3.11b) of Chao et al. (2000). It is an extension of the ACE estimator to two communities. It is replaced by Chao1-shared when the estimated sample coverage for rare shared species group (C12_rare in the output) is zero.

Chao1-shared: An extension of the Chao1 estimator to estimate shared species richness between two communities. It provides a lower bound of shared species richness. See Eq. (3.6) of Pan et al. (2009). It is replaced by Chao1-shared-bc for the case f[2+]=0 or f[+2]=0.
   
Chao1-shared-bc: A bias-corrected form of Chao1-shared estimator; See Pan et al. (2009).
