Functions for clustering of presence-absence and abundance data
Description
Distance-based parametric bootstrap tests for clustering,
mainly intended for presence-absence data and abundance data
(clustering of species
distribution ranges). Jaccard, Kulczynski, quantitative Kulczynski
and geco distance measures,
clustering of presence-absence and abundance data, and nearest neighbor
based noise detection (R port of Byers
and Raftery's (1998) "NNclean"). Main functions are prabtest, abundtest (for
testing), prabclust (for clustering), prabinit (for preparing the data)
and NNclean (for noise detection). The help-pages for prabtest, abundtest and
prabclust contain simple standard executions. Note that the use of the
package mclust (called by function prabclust) is protected by a special
license, see http://www.stat.washington.edu/mclust/license.txt, particularly
point 6.
