#' ## Diversity
#'
#' Alpha diversity is a joint quantity that combines elements or community
#' richness and evenness. Diversity increases, in general, when species richness
#' or evenness increase.
#'
#' The following diversity indices are available:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'coverage': Number of species needed to cover a given fraction of
#' the ecosystem (50 percent by default). Tune this with the threshold
#' argument.
#'
#' \item 'faith': Faith's phylogenetic alpha diversity index measures how
#' long the taxonomic distance is between taxa that are present in the sample.
#' Larger values represent higher diversity. Using this index requires
#' rowTree. (Faith 1992)
#'
#' If the data includes features that are not in tree's tips but in
#' internal nodes, there are two options. First, you can keep those features,
#' and prune the tree to match features so that each tip can be found from
#' the features. Other option is to remove all features that are not tips.
#' (See \code{only.tips} parameter)
#'
#' \item 'fisher': Fisher's alpha; as implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:diversity]{vegan::fisher.alpha}}. (Fisher et al. 1943)
#'
#' \item 'gini_simpson': Gini-Simpson diversity i.e. \eqn{1 - lambda},
#' where \eqn{lambda} is the
#' Simpson index, calculated as the sum of squared relative abundances.
#' This corresponds to the diversity index
#' 'simpson' in \code{\link[vegan:diversity]{vegan::diversity}}.
#' This is also called Gibbs–Martin, or Blau index in sociology,
#' psychology and management studies. The Gini-Simpson index (1-lambda)
#' should not be
#' confused with Simpson's dominance (lambda), Gini index, or
#' inverse Simpson index (1/lambda).
#'
#' \item 'inverse_simpson': Inverse Simpson diversity:
#' \eqn{1/lambda} where \eqn{lambda=sum(p^2)} and p refers to relative
#' abundances.
#' This corresponds to the diversity index
#' 'invsimpson' in vegan::diversity. Don't confuse this with the
#' closely related Gini-Simpson index
#'
#' \item 'log_modulo_skewness': The rarity index characterizes the
#' concentration of species at low abundance. Here, we use the skewness of
#' the frequency
#' distribution of arithmetic abundance classes (see Magurran & McGill 2011).
#' These are typically right-skewed; to avoid taking log of occasional
#' negative skews, we follow Locey & Lennon (2016) and use the log-modulo
#' transformation that adds a value of one to each measure of skewness to
#' allow logarithmization.
#'
#' \item 'shannon': Shannon diversity (entropy).
#'
#' }
#'
#' ## Dominance
#'
#' A dominance index quantifies the dominance of one or few species in a
#' community. Greater values indicate higher dominance.
#'
#' Dominance indices are in general negatively correlated with alpha diversity
#' indices (species richness, evenness, diversity, rarity). More dominant
#' communities are less diverse.
#'
#' The following community dominance indices are available:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'absolute': Absolute index equals to the absolute abundance of the
#' most dominant n species of the sample (specify the number with the argument
#' \code{ntaxa}). Index gives positive integer values.
#'
#' \item 'dbp': Berger-Parker index (See Berger & Parker 1970) calculation
#' is a special case of the 'relative' index. dbp is the relative abundance of
#' the most
#' abundant species of the sample. Index gives values in interval 0 to 1,
#' where bigger value represent greater dominance.
#'
#' \deqn{dbp = \frac{N_1}{N_{tot}}}{%
#' dbp = N_1/N_tot} where \eqn{N_1} is the absolute abundance of the most
#' dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute abundances of all
#' species.
#'
#' \item 'core_abundance': Core abundance index is related to core species.
#' Core species are species that are most abundant in all samples, i.e., in
#' whole data set. Core species are defined as those species that have
#' prevalence over 50\%. It means that in order to belong to core species,
#' species must be prevalent in 50\% of samples. Core species are used to
#' calculate the core abundance index. Core abundance index is sum of relative
#' abundances of core species in the sample. Index gives values in interval
#' 0 to 1, where bigger value represent greater dominance.
#'
#' \deqn{core_abundance = \frac{N_{core}}{N_{tot}}}{%
#' core_abundance = N_core/N_tot} where \eqn{N_{core}} is the sum of absolute
#' abundance of the core species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute
#' abundances of all species.
#'
#' \item 'gini': Gini index is probably best-known from socio-economic
#' contexts (Gini 1921). In economics, it is used to measure, for example, how
#' unevenly income is distributed among population. Here, Gini index is used
#' similarly, but income is replaced with abundance.
#'
#' If there is small group of species
#' that represent large portion of total abundance of microbes, the inequality
#' is large and Gini index closer to 1. If all species has equally large
#' abundances, the equality is perfect and Gini index equals 0. This index
#' should not be confused with Gini-Simpson index, which quantifies diversity.
#'
#' \item 'dmn': McNaughton’s index is the sum of relative abundances of the two
#' most abundant species of the sample (McNaughton & Wolf, 1970). Index gives
#' values in the unit interval:
#'
#' \deqn{dmn = (N_1 + N_2)/N_tot}
#'
#' where \eqn{N_1} and \eqn{N_2} are the absolute
#' abundances of the two most dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of
#' absolute abundances of all species.
#'
#' \item 'relative': Relative index equals to the relative abundance of the
#' most dominant n species of the sample (specify the number with the
#' argument \code{ntaxa}).
#' This index gives values in interval 0 to 1.
#'
#' \deqn{relative = N_1/N_tot}
#'
#' where \eqn{N_1} is the absolute abundance of the most
#' dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute abundances of all
#' species.
#'
#' \item 'simpson_lambda': Simpson's (dominance) index or Simpson's lambda is
#' the sum of squared relative abundances. This index gives values in the unit interval.
#' This value equals the probability that two randomly chosen individuals
#' belongs to the
#' same species. The higher the probability, the greater the dominance (See
#' e.g. Simpson 1949).
#'
#' \deqn{lambda = \sum(p^2)}
#'
#' where p refers to relative abundances.
#'
#' There is also a more advanced Simpson dominance index (Simpson 1949).
#' However, this is not provided and the simpler squared sum of relative
#' abundances is used instead as the alternative index is not in the unit
#' interval and it is highly
#' correlated with the simpler variant implemented here.
#'
#' }
#'
#' ## Evenness
#'
#' Evenness is a standard index in community ecology, and it quantifies how
#' evenly the abundances of different species are distributed. The following
#' evenness indices are provided:
#'
#' By default, this function returns all indices.
#'
#' The available evenness indices include the following (all in lowercase):
#' \itemize{
#' \item 'camargo': Camargo's evenness (Camargo 1992)
#' \item 'simpson_evenness': Simpson’s evenness is calculated as inverse Simpson diversity (1/lambda) divided by
#' observed species richness S: (1/lambda)/S.
#' \item 'pielou': Pielou's evenness (Pielou, 1966), also known as Shannon or Shannon-Weaver/Wiener/Weiner
#' evenness; H/ln(S). The Shannon-Weaver is the preferred term; see Spellerberg and Fedor (2003).
#' \item 'evar': Smith and Wilson’s Evar index (Smith & Wilson 1996).
#' \item 'bulla': Bulla’s index (O) (Bulla 1994).
#' }
#'
#' Desirable statistical evenness metrics avoid strong bias towards very
#' large or very small abundances; are independent of richness; and range
#' within the unit interval with increasing evenness (Smith & Wilson 1996).
#' Evenness metrics that fulfill these criteria include at least camargo,
#' simpson, smith-wilson, and bulla. Also see Magurran & McGill (2011)
#' and Beisel et al. (2003) for further details.
#'
#' ## Richness
#'
#' The richness is calculated per sample. This is a standard index in community
#' ecology, and it provides an estimate of the number of unique species in the
#' community. This is often not directly observed for the whole community but
#' only for a limited sample from the community. This has led to alternative
#' richness indices that provide different ways to estimate the species
#' richness.
#'
#' Richness index differs from the concept of species diversity or evenness in
#' that it ignores species abundance, and focuses on the binary presence/absence
#' values that indicate simply whether the species was detected.
#'
#' The function takes all index names in full lowercase. The user can provide
#' the desired spelling through the argument \code{\link{name}} (see examples).
#'
#' The following richness indices are provided.
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'ace': Abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) is another
#' nonparametric richness
#' index that uses sample coverage, defined based on the sum of the
#' probabilities
#' of the observed species. This method divides the species into abundant
#' (more than 10
#' reads or observations) and rare groups
#' in a sample and tends to underestimate the real number of species. The
#' ACE index
#' ignores the abundance information for the abundant species,
#' based on the assumption that the abundant species are observed regardless
#' of their
#' exact abundance. We use here the bias-corrected version
#' (O'Hara 2005, Chiu et al. 2014) implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' For an exact formulation, see \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' Note that this index comes with an additional column with standard
#' error information.
#'
#' \item 'chao1': This is a nonparametric estimator of species richness. It
#' assumes that rare species carry information about the (unknown) number
#' of unobserved species. We use here the bias-corrected version
#' (O'Hara 2005, Chiu et al. 2014) implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}. This index implicitly
#' assumes that every taxa has equal probability of being observed. Note
#' that it gives a lower bound to species richness. The bias-corrected
#' for an exact formulation, see \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' This estimator uses only the singleton and doubleton counts, and
#' hence it gives more weight to the low abundance species.
#' Note that this index comes with an additional column with standard
#' error information.
#'
#' \item 'hill': Effective species richness aka Hill index
#' (see e.g. Chao et al. 2016).
#' Currently only the case 1D is implemented. This corresponds to the exponent
#' of Shannon diversity. Intuitively, the effective richness indicates the
#' number of
#' species whose even distribution would lead to the same diversity than the
#' observed
#' community, where the species abundances are unevenly distributed.
#'
#' \item 'observed': The _observed richness_ gives the number of species that
#' is detected above a given \code{detection} threshold in the observed sample
#' (default 0). This is conceptually the simplest richness index. The
#' corresponding index in the \pkg{vegan} package is "richness".

#' ## Diversity
#'
#' Alpha diversity is a joint quantity that combines elements or community
#' richness and evenness. Diversity increases, in general, when species richness
#' or evenness increase.
#'
#' The following diversity indices are available:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'coverage': Number of species needed to cover a given fraction of
#' the ecosystem (50 percent by default). Tune this with the threshold
#' argument.
#'
#' \item 'faith': Faith's phylogenetic alpha diversity index measures how
#' long the taxonomic distance is between taxa that are present in the sample.
#' Larger values represent higher diversity. Using this index requires
#' rowTree. (Faith 1992)
#'
#' If the data includes features that are not in tree's tips but in
#' internal nodes, there are two options. First, you can keep those features,
#' and prune the tree to match features so that each tip can be found from
#' the features. Other option is to remove all features that are not tips.
#' (See \code{only.tips} parameter)
#'
#' \item 'fisher': Fisher's alpha; as implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:diversity]{vegan::fisher.alpha}}. (Fisher et al. 1943)
#'
#' \item 'gini_simpson': Gini-Simpson diversity i.e. \eqn{1 - lambda},
#' where \eqn{lambda} is the
#' Simpson index, calculated as the sum of squared relative abundances.
#' This corresponds to the diversity index
#' 'simpson' in \code{\link[vegan:diversity]{vegan::diversity}}.
#' This is also called Gibbs–Martin, or Blau index in sociology,
#' psychology and management studies. The Gini-Simpson index (1-lambda)
#' should not be
#' confused with Simpson's dominance (lambda), Gini index, or
#' inverse Simpson index (1/lambda).
#'
#' \item 'inverse_simpson': Inverse Simpson diversity:
#' \eqn{1/lambda} where \eqn{lambda=sum(p^2)} and p refers to relative
#' abundances.
#' This corresponds to the diversity index
#' 'invsimpson' in vegan::diversity. Don't confuse this with the
#' closely related Gini-Simpson index
#'
#' \item 'log_modulo_skewness': The rarity index characterizes the
#' concentration of species at low abundance. Here, we use the skewness of
#' the frequency
#' distribution of arithmetic abundance classes (see Magurran & McGill 2011).
#' These are typically right-skewed; to avoid taking log of occasional
#' negative skews, we follow Locey & Lennon (2016) and use the log-modulo
#' transformation that adds a value of one to each measure of skewness to
#' allow logarithmization.
#'
#' \item 'shannon': Shannon diversity (entropy).
#'
#' }
#'
#' ## Dominance
#'
#' A dominance index quantifies the dominance of one or few species in a
#' community. Greater values indicate higher dominance.
#'
#' Dominance indices are in general negatively correlated with alpha diversity
#' indices (species richness, evenness, diversity, rarity). More dominant
#' communities are less diverse.
#'
#' The following community dominance indices are available:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'absolute': Absolute index equals to the absolute abundance of the
#' most dominant n species of the sample (specify the number with the argument
#' \code{ntaxa}). Index gives positive integer values.
#'
#' \item 'dbp': Berger-Parker index (See Berger & Parker 1970) calculation
#' is a special case of the 'relative' index. dbp is the relative abundance of
#' the most
#' abundant species of the sample. Index gives values in interval 0 to 1,
#' where bigger value represent greater dominance.
#'
#' \deqn{dbp = \frac{N_1}{N_{tot}}}{%
#' dbp = N_1/N_tot} where \eqn{N_1} is the absolute abundance of the most
#' dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute abundances of all
#' species.
#'
#' \item 'core_abundance': Core abundance index is related to core species.
#' Core species are species that are most abundant in all samples, i.e., in
#' whole data set. Core species are defined as those species that have
#' prevalence over 50\%. It means that in order to belong to core species,
#' species must be prevalent in 50\% of samples. Core species are used to
#' calculate the core abundance index. Core abundance index is sum of relative
#' abundances of core species in the sample. Index gives values in interval
#' 0 to 1, where bigger value represent greater dominance.
#'
#' \deqn{core_abundance = \frac{N_{core}}{N_{tot}}}{%
#' core_abundance = N_core/N_tot} where \eqn{N_{core}} is the sum of absolute
#' abundance of the core species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute
#' abundances of all species.
#'
#' \item 'gini': Gini index is probably best-known from socio-economic
#' contexts (Gini 1921). In economics, it is used to measure, for example, how
#' unevenly income is distributed among population. Here, Gini index is used
#' similarly, but income is replaced with abundance.
#'
#' If there is small group of species
#' that represent large portion of total abundance of microbes, the inequality
#' is large and Gini index closer to 1. If all species has equally large
#' abundances, the equality is perfect and Gini index equals 0. This index
#' should not be confused with Gini-Simpson index, which quantifies diversity.
#'
#' \item 'dmn': McNaughton’s index is the sum of relative abundances of the two
#' most abundant species of the sample (McNaughton & Wolf, 1970). Index gives
#' values in the unit interval:
#'
#' \deqn{dmn = (N_1 + N_2)/N_tot}
#'
#' where \eqn{N_1} and \eqn{N_2} are the absolute
#' abundances of the two most dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of
#' absolute abundances of all species.
#'
#' \item 'relative': Relative index equals to the relative abundance of the
#' most dominant n species of the sample (specify the number with the
#' argument \code{ntaxa}).
#' This index gives values in interval 0 to 1.
#'
#' \deqn{relative = N_1/N_tot}
#'
#' where \eqn{N_1} is the absolute abundance of the most
#' dominant species and \eqn{N_{tot}} is the sum of absolute abundances of all
#' species.
#'
#' \item 'simpson_lambda': Simpson's (dominance) index or Simpson's lambda is
#' the sum of squared relative abundances. This index gives values in the unit interval.
#' This value equals the probability that two randomly chosen individuals
#' belongs to the
#' same species. The higher the probability, the greater the dominance (See
#' e.g. Simpson 1949).
#'
#' \deqn{lambda = \sum(p^2)}
#'
#' where p refers to relative abundances.
#'
#' There is also a more advanced Simpson dominance index (Simpson 1949).
#' However, this is not provided and the simpler squared sum of relative
#' abundances is used instead as the alternative index is not in the unit
#' interval and it is highly
#' correlated with the simpler variant implemented here.
#'
#' }
#'
#' ## Evenness
#'
#' Evenness is a standard index in community ecology, and it quantifies how
#' evenly the abundances of different species are distributed. The following
#' evenness indices are provided:
#'
#' By default, this function returns all indices.
#'
#' The available evenness indices include the following (all in lowercase):
#' \itemize{
#' \item 'camargo': Camargo's evenness (Camargo 1992)
#' \item 'simpson_evenness': Simpson’s evenness is calculated as inverse Simpson diversity (1/lambda) divided by
#' observed species richness S: (1/lambda)/S.
#' \item 'pielou': Pielou's evenness (Pielou, 1966), also known as Shannon or Shannon-Weaver/Wiener/Weiner
#' evenness; H/ln(S). The Shannon-Weaver is the preferred term; see Spellerberg and Fedor (2003).
#' \item 'evar': Smith and Wilson’s Evar index (Smith & Wilson 1996).
#' \item 'bulla': Bulla’s index (O) (Bulla 1994).
#' }
#'
#' Desirable statistical evenness metrics avoid strong bias towards very
#' large or very small abundances; are independent of richness; and range
#' within the unit interval with increasing evenness (Smith & Wilson 1996).
#' Evenness metrics that fulfill these criteria include at least camargo,
#' simpson, smith-wilson, and bulla. Also see Magurran & McGill (2011)
#' and Beisel et al. (2003) for further details.
#'
#' ## Richness
#'
#' The richness is calculated per sample. This is a standard index in community
#' ecology, and it provides an estimate of the number of unique species in the
#' community. This is often not directly observed for the whole community but
#' only for a limited sample from the community. This has led to alternative
#' richness indices that provide different ways to estimate the species
#' richness.
#'
#' Richness index differs from the concept of species diversity or evenness in
#' that it ignores species abundance, and focuses on the binary presence/absence
#' values that indicate simply whether the species was detected.
#'
#' The function takes all index names in full lowercase. The user can provide
#' the desired spelling through the argument \code{\link{name}} (see examples).
#'
#' The following richness indices are provided.
#'
#' \itemize{
#'
#' \item 'ace': Abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) is another
#' nonparametric richness
#' index that uses sample coverage, defined based on the sum of the
#' probabilities
#' of the observed species. This method divides the species into abundant
#' (more than 10
#' reads or observations) and rare groups
#' in a sample and tends to underestimate the real number of species. The
#' ACE index
#' ignores the abundance information for the abundant species,
#' based on the assumption that the abundant species are observed regardless
#' of their
#' exact abundance. We use here the bias-corrected version
#' (O'Hara 2005, Chiu et al. 2014) implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' For an exact formulation, see \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' Note that this index comes with an additional column with standard
#' error information.
#'
#' \item 'chao1': This is a nonparametric estimator of species richness. It
#' assumes that rare species carry information about the (unknown) number
#' of unobserved species. We use here the bias-corrected version
#' (O'Hara 2005, Chiu et al. 2014) implemented in
#' \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}. This index implicitly
#' assumes that every taxa has equal probability of being observed. Note
#' that it gives a lower bound to species richness. The bias-corrected
#' for an exact formulation, see \code{\link[vegan:specpool]{estimateR}}.
#' This estimator uses only the singleton and doubleton counts, and
#' hence it gives more weight to the low abundance species.
#' Note that this index comes with an additional column with standard
#' error information.
#'
#' \item 'hill': Effective species richness aka Hill index
#' (see e.g. Chao et al. 2016).
#' Currently only the case 1D is implemented. This corresponds to the exponent
#' of Shannon diversity. Intuitively, the effective richness indicates the
#' number of
#' species whose even distribution would lead to the same diversity than the
#' observed
#' community, where the species abundances are unevenly distributed.
#'
#' \item 'observed': The _observed richness_ gives the number of species that
#' is detected above a given \code{detection} threshold in the observed sample
#' (default 0). This is conceptually the simplest richness index. The
#' corresponding index in the \pkg{vegan} package is "richness".
