HierDpart (version 1.5.0)

qD: Function for calculating genetic diversity profile (q=0,1,2)

Description

This function calculates genetic diversity profile (q=0, 1, 2).

Usage

qD(x, q, ncode)

Arguments

x

Input data, genepop format.

q

Hill numbers, q=0,1,2.

ncode

The coding type of the genetic file.

Value

Result returns to the diversity profile (q) as you defined.

Details

This function returns different genetic diversities, q is the order of Hill number, specifically, richness (q=0), exponential Shannon entropy (q=1), and heterozygosity related measure (q=2, ^2D=1/(1-He)).
