Usage

EstSimpson(x, datatype = "abundance", transform = FALSE, conf = 0.95,
  B = 200)

Arguments

x
a vector of species frequence
datatype
the data type of input data. That is individual-based abundance data (datatype = "abundance") or sample-based incidence data (datatype = "incidence").
transform
a logical constant to compute traditional index or the effective transformation. Default is logical=FALSE.
conf
