eff_num_func_no_d

eff_num_func_no_d(adf_freq, q = 1)

Arguments

adf_freq

A data frame of functional "frequencies" - i.e. f_i/sum(f_i)

q

Order of hill number used for index. Defaults to q=1, as in Shannon Diversity

Value

Returns a verctor of effective or standardized effective number of functions

Details

Takes a data frame, with functions standardized against total level of function in their replicate as columns and replicates as rows. Returns the effective number of functions using the appropriate method. See Chao et al. 2019 or Jost 2006 for details. Does not adjust for correlation between functions.
