C_target: Calculate the recommended maximum coverage value for the...

In T-Engel/betaC: Standardize beta-diversity by sample coverage

Description

This returns the coverage of x at the gamma scale that corresponds to the smalles observed sample size at the alpha scale times an extrapolation factor. The default (factor = 2) allows for extrapolation up to 2 times the observed sample size of the smallest alpha sample. For factor= 1, only interpolation is applied. its not recommendable to use factors largers than 2.

Usage

C_target(x, factor = 2)

Arguments

x	a site by specie matrix
factor	numeric. how far

Value

numeric value

Examples

library(vegan)
data(BCI)

# What is the largest possible C that I can use to calculate beta_C for my site by species matrix?
C_target(BCI)
