Berger-Parker dominance
Description
The Berger-Parker dominance is the proportion of the most abundant species.
Usage
berger_parker_d(x)
Arguments
x
A numeric vector of species counts or proportions.
Details
Equivalent to berger_parker_d() in
skbio.diversity.alpha.
Equivalent to the bergerparker calculator in Mothur.
Value
The Berger-Parker dominance, 0 < D_{BP} \leq 1. If the vector
sums to zero, the Berger-Parker dominance is undefined, and we return
NaN.
