SimilarityMatrix-class

<p>A <code>SimilarityMatrix</code> object from which to extract element.</p>

<p>An S4 class to represent a (dis)similarity matrix.</p>

An easy way to examine archaeological count data (artifacts, faunal
remains, etc.). This package includes several measures of diversity: e.g.
richness and rarefaction (Chao1, Chao2, ACE, ICE, etc.), diversity/dominance
and evenness (Brillouin, Shannon, Simpson, etc.), turnover and similarity
(Brainerd-Robinson, ...). Most of these methods are described and discussed
in Maguran (1988) <doi:10.1007/978-94-015-7358-0>. It also provides matrix
seriation methods (reciprocal ranking, CA-based seriation) for
chronological modeling and dating. The package make it easy to visualize
count data and statistical thresholds: rank/abundance plots, Ford (1972)
<isbn:0913134082> and Bertin (1977) <isbn:2082111121> diagrams, etc.
