CVNND: Coefficient of variation, mean, minimum and standard...

In cati: Community Assembly by Traits: Individuals and Beyond

Coefficient of variation, mean, minimum and standard deviation of the nearest neigbourhood distance.

Description

CVNND : Coefficient of variation of the nearest neigbourhood distance

MNND : Mean of the nearest neigbourhood distance

MinNND : Minimum of the nearest neigbourhood distance

SDNND : Standard deviation of the nearest neigbourhood distance

SDND : Standard deviation of the neigbourhood distance

MND : Mean of the neigbourhood distance

Usage

	CVNND(traits, div_range =  FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, scale.tr = TRUE,
	method.dist = "euclidian")
	
	MNND(traits, div_range =  FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, scale.tr = TRUE, 
	method.dist = "euclidian")
	
	MinNND(traits, div_range =  FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, scale.tr = TRUE, 
	method.dist = "euclidian")
	
	SDNND(traits, div_range =  FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, scale.tr = TRUE, 
	method.dist = "euclidian")
	
	SDND(trait, div_range = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE)	
	
	MND(trait, div_range = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

traits	Trait vector (uni-trait metric) or traits matrix (Multi-traits metric), traits in column.
trait	Trait vector
div_range	Does metric need to be divided by the range? Default is no.
na.rm	If div_range=TRUE, a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
scale.tr	Does traits need to be scale before multi-traits metric calculation? Default is yes.
method.dist	Method to calculate the distance in case of multi-traits metric (function dist). Default is euclidian.

Value

One value corresponding to the metric value.
