compute_NonacsB: Compute the binomial skew index of Nonacs

In courtiol/matingRhinos: Analysis of the Mating, Reproductive Success and Their Correlates in White Rhinos

Description

This function computes Nonacs' binomial skew index (B). Nonacs defines it as an index “based on the observed variance in a group corrected by the expected variance if each member had an equal probability of gaining any given group benefit or reproductive opportunity.”

Usage

compute_NonacsB(benef, time)

Arguments

benef	The vector of benefits (i.e. mating or reproductive success).
time	The vector of time-in (i.e. the time each individual spent in the group).

Value

The observed Nonacs' binomial skew index value.
