chao1 {rareNMtests}

Computes the Chao 1 species richness estimator

Description

Computes the Chao 1 richness estimator, its estimated variance, and the corresponding 95

Usage

   chao1(x)

Arguments

x

Vector of species abundances.

Details

Different equations are used to compute the classic Chao1 richness estimator, its estimated variance, and the corresponding 95

Value

A data frame with five columns including the observed number of species (Sobs), the estimated number of species with the Chao 1 estimator (S.chao1), the estimated variance (var), and the upper and lower 95
