fisher.rSAC
estimates the expected number of species represented at least
r times in a random sample, based on the initial sample.
The estimator was originally proposed by Fisher et al. (1943) for estimating
the SAC. We generalize this estimator for predicting the r-SAC.
fisher.rSAC(n, r=1)
n |
A two-column matrix. The first column is the frequency j = 1,2,…; and the second column is N_j, the number of species with each species represented exactly j times in the initial sample. The first column must be sorted in an ascending order. |
r |
A positive integer. Default is 1. |
The estimator for the r-SAC. The input of the estimator is a vector of sampling efforts t, i.e., the relative sample sizes comparing with the initial sample. For example, t = 2 means a random sample that is twice the size of the initial sample.
