BetaDisQ: Pairwise beta-diversity calculation

In CeresBarros/ToolsCB: Ceres's Useful R Functions

Pairwise beta-diversity calculation

Description

BetaDisQ calculates the pairwise beta-diversity (minus 1) between sites of a site by species matrix according to the q parameter using the afformentionned functions Allows a parametrization of the dominance effect

Usage

BetaDisQ(spxp, Z = NULL, q = 2, check = TRUE, mult = TRUE)

Arguments

spxp	sites (row) by species (cols) matrix with or without rownames and colnames
Z	similarity matrix used into all functions.
q	parameter influencing the weight of species abundances on diversity calcualtions as per Leinster & Cobbold 2012.
check	should arguments be checked?
mult	determines whether beta-diversity should be calculated using multiplicative decomposition (the default) or as a percentage (B = (G-mA)/G * 100), where mA is mean alpha-diversity
