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.
