Hs: Mean Heterozygosity within Populations

Description

This function calculates the arithmetic mean heterozygosity over all subpopulations according to Jost (2008, p. 4022).

Usage

Hs(Hj)

Arguments

Hj

A vector that contains the heterozygosities found within the sampled populations. This vector can be obtained easily by using the function Hj that is included in this package.

Value

• The mean value over all within population heterozygosities ('Hs') is returned.
