Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples
This function makes pairwise/ setwise combinations of sites in the community matrix x and calculates pairwise/ setwise beta diversities, respectively. "Set" refers to a user-defined number of samples that will be used. This is essentially the number of plots in a sample-based rarefaction. It's default is 2 (i.e. pairs).

The calculation of the beta-diversity metric is done according to the function in "func". This should be a function that returns a (dis-)similarity or beta diversity metric for a site-by species matrix like x. "func" is applied to every subset. Additional arguments will be passed on to "func".
If the number of possible sets/ pairwise comparisons exceeds the value of max_combn. A random subsample of all combinations will be drawn. The number of random samples can be adjusted using the argument resamples. It is not recommended to increase the value of max_combn. The function choose() "n over k" can be used to manually compute the number of possible subsets where n is the number of samples/rows in x and k is setsize. If summarise = T, mean and variance of all setwise comparisons are returned. Otherwise, the function returns all individual beta values.
