VqN {hilldiv}

Sørensen-type turnover-complement

Description

The Sørensen-type turnover-complement is the complement of the Sørensen-type turnover, which quantifies the normalized OTU turnover rate with respect to the average subsystem (i.e., alpha), thus provides the proportion of a typical subsystem that changes across subsystems. VqN is integrated in the functions beta_dis() and pair_dis().

Usage

VqN(beta, N)

Arguments

beta

A beta diversity value based on Hill numbers.

N

An integer indicating sample size, the number of sampling units to be used to compute the similarity measure.

Details

Value

A Sørensen-type turnover-complement value
