Simpson.factor: Simpson Entropy of a vector of individuals

In EricMarcon/SpatDiv: Spatially Explicit Measures of Diversity

Simpson Entropy of a vector of individuals

Description

Calculates the Simpson entropy of a vector of individuals.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'factor'
Simpson(NorP, Correction = "Lande", ..., CheckArguments = TRUE)

Arguments

NorP	A vector of factors.
Correction	A string containing one of the possible corrections: see Simpson.
...	Further arguments passed to entropart::Tsallis, entropart::Diversity, entropart::Richness, entropart::Shannon or entropart::Simpson (S3 methods for class 'AbdVector' or 'numeric')
CheckArguments	If TRUE (default), the function arguments are verified. Should be set to FALSE to save time in simulations for example, when the arguments have been checked elsewhere.

Value

A named number equal to the calculated entropy. The name is that of the bias correction used.

Examples

Simpson(Paracou6$marks$PointType)
