Meta-Community entropy class. — MCentropy • entropart

Methods for objects of type "MCentropy".

is.MCentropy(x)
# S3 method for MCentropy
plot(x, ...)
# S3 method for MCentropy
autoplot(object, col = ggplot2::GeomCol$default_aes$fill,
          border = ggplot2::GeomCol$default_aes$colour, ...)
# S3 method for MCentropy
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

x: An object to be tested or plotted.
object: A MCentropy object to be summarized or plotted.
col: The color used to fill the bars. See "Color Specification" in par.
border: The color of the borders around the bars. See hist.
...: Additional arguments to be passed to the generic methods.

Value

Meta-community entropy objects are lists containing:

MetaCommunity: The name of the MetaCommunity object containing inventory data.
Method: The method used to calculate entropy ("HCDT", "Similarity-based").
Type: The type of entropy ("alpha", "beta" or "gamma").
Order: The order of entropy \(q\).
Correction: The estimation bias correction used to calculate entropy.
Tree: The phylogenetic or functional tree used to calculate phyloentropy.
Normalized: Logical. Indicates whether phyloentropy is normalized or proportional to the height of the tree.
Z: The matrix used to calculate similarity-based entropy.
Weights: A vector containing the weights of communities.
Communities: A vector containing the entropy of communities.
Total: The total entropy.

is.MCentropy returns TRUE if the object is of class MCentropy.

summary.MCentropy returns a summary of the object's value.
