expq {entropart} | R Documentation |
Exponential of order q
Description
Calculates the deformed exponential of order q
.
Usage
expq(x, q)
expq.CommunityProfile(Profile)
Arguments
x |
A numeric vector. |
Profile |
|
q |
A number. |
Details
The deformed exponential is defined as (x(1-q)+1)^{\frac{1}{(1-q)}}
.
For q>1
, \ln_q{(+\infty)}=\frac{1}{(q-1)}
so \exp_q{(x)}
is not defined for x>\frac{1}{(q-1)}
.
expq.CommunityProfile
calculates the deformed exponential of a CommunityProfile
. Its $x
item (the order of diversity) is kept unchanged whilst other items are set to their exponential of order $x
. Thus, an entropy profile is transformed into a diversity profile.
Value
A vector of the same length as x
containing the transformed values or a CommunityProfile
.
