dissimilarity_to_similarity: Convert dissimilarity metrics to similarity metrics

Description

This function converts a data.frame of dissimilarity metrics (beta diversity) between sites to similarity metrics.

Usage

dissimilarity_to_similarity(dissimilarity, include_formula = TRUE)

Value

A data.frame with additional class bioregion.pairwise.metric, providing similarity metric(s) between each pair of sites based on a dissimilarity object.

Arguments

dissimilarity

the output object from dissimilarity() or similarity_to_dissimilarity().

include_formula

a boolean indicating if the metrics based on your own formula(s) should be converted (see Details). This argument is set to TRUE by default.

comat <- matrix(sample(0:1000, size = 50, replace = TRUE,
prob = 1 / 1:1001), 5, 10)
rownames(comat) <- paste0("Site", 1:5)
colnames(comat) <- paste0("Species", 1:10)

dissimil <- dissimilarity(comat, metric = "all")

similarity <- dissimilarity_to_similarity(dissimil)
