Simultaneous inference for diversity indices.
Description
Package simboot provides estimation of simultaneous bootstrap and
asymptotic confidence intervals for diversity indices, namely the
Shannon and the Simpson index. Several pre-specified
multiple-comparison types are available. Further user-defined
contrast matrices are applicable. In addition, simboot estimates
adjusted as well as unadjusted p–values for two of the three
proposed bootstrap methods. Further simboot allows for comparing
biological diversities of two or more groups with simultaneously
testing a user-defined selection of Hill numbers of orders q, which
are considered appropriate and useful indices for measuring diversity.
