#' Calculation prevalence information for features across samples
#'
#' These functions calculate the population prevalence for taxonomic ranks in a
#' \code{\link{SummarizedExperiment-class}} object.
#'
#' @inheritParams getDissimilarity
#' 
#' @param x \code{\link[TreeSummarizedExperiment:TreeSummarizedExperiment-class]{TreeSummarizedExperiment}}.
#' 
#' @param assay_name Deprecated. Use \code{assay.type} instead.
#'
#' @param detection \code{Numeric scalar}. Detection threshold for absence/presence. 
#'    If \code{as_relative = FALSE},
#'    it sets the counts threshold for a taxon to be considered present.
#'    If \code{as_relative = TRUE}, it sets the relative abundance threshold
#'    for a taxon to be considered present. (Default: \code{0})
#'
#' @param include.lowest \code{Logical scalar}. Should the lower boundary of the
#'   detection and prevalence cutoffs be included? (Default: \code{FALSE})
#' 
#' @param include_lowest Deprecated. Use \code{include.lowest} instead.
#'
#' @param sort \code{Logical scalar}. Should the result be sorted by prevalence?
#'   (Default: \code{FALSE})
#'
#' @param rank \code{Character scalar}. Defines a taxonomic rank. Must be a value of
#'   \code{taxonomyRanks()} function.
#'
#' @param na.rm \code{Logical scalar}. Should NA values be omitted when calculating
#' prevalence? (Default: \code{TRUE})
#'
#' @param ... additional arguments

#' @details
#' \code{getPrevalence} calculates the frequency of samples that exceed
#' the detection threshold. For \code{SummarizedExperiment} objects, the
#' prevalence is calculated for the selected taxonomic rank, otherwise for the
#' rows. The absolute population prevalence can be obtained by multiplying the
#' prevalence by the number of samples (\code{ncol(x)}). 
#'
#' The core abundance index from \code{getPrevalentAbundance} gives the relative
#' proportion of the core species (in between 0 and 1). The core taxa are
#' defined as those that exceed the given population prevalence threshold at the
#' given detection level as set for \code{getPrevalent}.
#'
#' \code{subsetPrevalent} and \code{subsetRareFeatures} return a subset of
#' \code{x}.
#' The subset includes the most prevalent or rare taxa that are calculated with
#' \code{getPrevalent} or \code{getRare} respectively.
#'
#' @return
#' \code{subsetPrevalent} and \code{subsetRareFeatures} return subset of
#' \code{x}.
#'
#' All other functions return a named vectors:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{getPrevalence} returns a \code{numeric} vector with the
#'     names being set to either the row names of \code{x} or the names after
#'     agglomeration.
#'
#'   \item \code{getPrevalentAbundance} returns a \code{numeric} vector with
#'     the names corresponding to the column name of \code{x} and include the
#'     joint abundance of prevalent taxa.
#'
#'   \item \code{getPrevalent} and \code{getRare} return a
#'     \code{character} vector with only the names exceeding the threshold set
#'     by \code{prevalence}, if the \code{rownames} of \code{x} is set.
#'     Otherwise an \code{integer} vector is returned matching the rows in
#'     \code{x}.
