rdiversity (version 1.0)

qDZ: Similarity-sensitive diversity

Description

Calculates the similarity-sensitive diversity of a series of columns representing independent populations, for a series of orders repesented as a vector of qs.

Usage

qDZ(meta, qs)

Arguments

meta

object of class metacommunity.

qs

vector of q values.

Value

Returns an object of class matrix, with rows as qs columns as subcommunities, and elements containing diversity values.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pop <- sample(1:50, 5)

# Create similarity matrix
Z <- diag(1, length(pop))
Z[Z==0] <- 0.4

dat <- metacommunity(pop, Z)

# Calculate similarity-sensitive diversity of order 0 (species richness)
qDZ(dat, 0)

# }
