norm_sub_rho {rdiversity}

Normalised subcommunity rho diversity

Description

Calculates similarity-sensitive normalised subcommunity rho diversity (the representativeness of subcommunity j). This measure may be calculated for a series of orders, represented as a vector of qs.

Usage

norm_sub_rho(meta, qs)

Arguments

meta

object of class metacommunity

qs

vector of mode numeric containing q values

Value

norm_sub_rho returns a standard output of class rdiv

Examples

pop <- data.frame(a = c(1,3), b = c(1,1))
row.names(pop) <- paste0("sp", 1:2)
pop <- pop/sum(pop)
meta <- metacommunity(pop)
