gini_ci {Rtapas}

Plot the confidence intervals of Gini coefficient

Description

Computes and displays in a boxplot the Gini coefficient and their confidence intervals of the frequency (or residual/corrected frequencies) distributions of the estimated (in)congruence metric (with any of the three global-fit methods) of the individual host-symbiont associations.

Usage

gini_ci(LF_1, M01, ylab = "Gini coefficient", plot = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

LF_1

Vector of statistics produced with max_cong() or max_incong() for "geoD", "paco" or "paraF".

M01

Matrix produced with prob_statistic() for "geoD", "paco" or "paraF" using LF_1.

ylab

Title of the y label.

plot

Default is "TRUE", plots the Gini coefficient and its confidence intervals in a boxplot.

...

Any optional argument admissible in boxplot()

Value

The Gini values obtained and their representation in a boxplot, with their confidence intervals.

NOTE

It produces a conventional Gini coefficient (G) (Ultsch and Lötsch 2017) if all output values are positive, or a normalized Gini coefficient (G*) (Raffinetti et al. 2015) if negative values are produced due to corrected frequencies (if res.fq = TRUE or diff.fq = TRUE). For more details see Raffinetti et al. (2015).
