iNEXT.beta3D (version 1.0.2)
Interpolation and Extrapolation with Beta Diversity for Three
Dimensions of Biodiversity
Description
As a sequel to 'iNEXT', the 'iNEXT.beta3D' package provides functions to compute
standardized taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity (3D) estimates
with a common sample size (for alpha and gamma diversity) or sample coverage
(for alpha, beta, gamma diversity as well as dissimilarity or turnover indices).
Hill numbers and their generalizations are used to quantify 3D and to make
multiplicative decomposition (gamma = alpha x beta). The package also features
size- and coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation sampling curves to
facilitate rigorous comparison of beta diversity across datasets.
See Chao et al. (2023) for more details.
