ens.ht Effective Number of Species with the Horvitz-Thompson Correction

Description

Calculates diversity profile (DP) using the effective number of species (ENS) based on inverting the Renyi entropy with the Horvitz-Thompson correction. For any monotone diversity index (see, e.g., Rempala and Seweryn 2013) the ENS is defined as the size of a uniform population with the same index value as the current population. The ENS may be considered as a measure of population diversity expressed in the units of species counts. The ENS profile is calculated against the Renyi entropy index, which allows for a direct comparison with the diversity profile (as in dp). The ENS without the Horvitz-Thompson correction is available as function ens. For more details on ENS see Rempala and Seweryn (2013) or Jost (2006).

Usage

ens.ht(x, alpha = seq(0.1, 2, 0.1), CI = 0.95, resample = 100, 
single_graph = FALSE, pooled_graph = FALSE, csv_output = FALSE, 
PlugIn = FALSE, size = 1, CVG = FALSE, saveBootstrap = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a matrix containing input populations

alpha

a vector containing alpha values, default = seq(0.1, 2, 0.1)

CVG

a list containing alpha values multiplied by coverage; default = FALSE

CI

Confidence Interval default = 0.95, range (0, 1)

resample

set number of repetitions, default = 100

single_graph

default = FALSE, plot of the Diversity Profile for each population; single_graph = 'fileName' user-defined output file name

pooled_graph

default = FALSE, plot of the Diversity Profile for all populations; pooled_graph = 'fileName' user-defined output file name

csv_output

save the result of the analysis as .CSV file, default = FALSE; csv_output = 'fileName' user-defined output file name

PlugIn

standard plug-in estimator, default = FALSE

size

resampled fraction of the population, default = 1 (actual size of populations). The value should not be smaller than 10% of population (size = 0.1)

saveBootstrap

Saves bootstrap result to a file. Use saveBootstrap = TRUE to save bootstrap results to a Bootstrap folder in current directory; saveBootstrap = 'FolderName' - saves bootstrap results to user-named folder
