This function calculates Hill's Species Dominance (N2) for j areas and i years.
1 | hillN2(X, groups, species.table = NULL, metric = "ABUNDANCE", years)
|
X |
A dataframe of fishery independent data derived from research vessel
survey data or model output, with columns |
groups |
A vector indicating the species group(s) for which to calculate
the indicator. If |
species.table |
A table where the column names match the entries in
|
metric |
A character string indicating which column in |
years |
A vector of years for which to calculate indicator. |
Hill's Species Dominance (HillN2):
HillN2 = 1/Σ p_i^2
p_i is the proportion of the total sample contributed by the i(th) species. HillN2 is the inverse of the Simpson's index. This index is sensitive to the evenness of the distribution of individuals between species (Hill, 1973).
Returns a dataframe with columns ID
and YEAR
, and a
column HillDominance_group
for each entry in groups
.
If there is no data for spatial scale j in year i, indicator values is assigned NA.
