Simpson Entropy of a vector of individuals — Simpson.factor • SpatDiv

Calculates the Simpson entropy of a vector of individuals.

# S3 method for factor
Simpson(NorP, Correction = "Lande", ..., CheckArguments = TRUE)

Arguments

NorP: A vector of factors.
Correction: A string containing one of the possible corrections: see Simpson.
...: Further arguments passed to entropart::Tsallis, entropart::Diversity, entropart::Richness, entropart::Shannon or entropart::Simpson (S3 methods for class 'AbdVector' or 'numeric')
CheckArguments: If TRUE (default), the function arguments are verified. Should be set to FALSE to save time in simulations for example, when the arguments have been checked elsewhere.

A named number equal to the calculated entropy. The name is that of the bias correction used.
