shannon_frag: Shannon diversity decomposition

Description

Computes Shannon diversity and its decomposition

Usage

shannon_frag(x, gx, f, gf)

Value

• shannon: Shannon's total Entropy.

• within: Within groups entropy.

• between: Between groups entropy.

• groups: A data frame with information about each group: relative frequency, internal entropy and number of spicies.

Arguments

x

Vector of dimension S (spicies) with the numbers of observed individuals in each spicy. NA values are allowed. 0 values are converted to NA.

gx

Vector of dimension S of factors indicating the groups. G groups.

f

Vector of dimension G with the number (>0) of fragments in each group

gf

Vector of dimension G of factors indicating the groups of f.
