DiversityTest-class: S4 class defining diversity significance
Description
DiversityTest defines the signifance of diversity ($D$) differences at a
fixed diversity order ($q$).
Slots
tests- data.frame describing the significance test results with columns:
-
test: string listing the two groups tested.
-
pvalue: p-value for the test.
-
delta_mean: mean of the $D$ bootstrap delta
distribution for the test.
-
delta_sd: standard deviation of the $D$
bootstrap delta distribution for the test.
summary- data.frame containing summary statistics for the diversity index
bootstrap distributions, at the given value of $q$, with columns:
-
group: the name of the group.
-
mean: mean of the $D$ bootstrap distribution.
-
sd: standard deviation of the $D$ bootstrap
distribution.
groups- character vector of groups retained in diversity calculation.
q- diversity order tested ($q$).
n- numeric vector indication the number of sequences sampled from each group.
nboot- number of bootstrap realizations.
