li Sorensen Index

Description

The Sorensen similarity (overlap) index measures the overlap between two populations by taking the ratio of the number of species shared between the two populations, relative to the number of species in both populations. The index varies between zero (no overlap) and one (perfect overlap). It is closely related to the Jaccard index of similarity (implemented in function ji).

Usage

li(x, CI = 0.95, resample = 100, graph = FALSE, csv_output = FALSE, 
PlugIn = FALSE, size = 1, saveBootstrap = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a matrix containing input populations

CI

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

resample

set number of repetitions, default = 100

graph

default = FALSE, plot the results of hierarchical clustering of pairwise analysis of Sorensen Index; 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
