Hill

Hill numbers are found in the Diversity.Hill package.

Usage

Accessing the main functionality in the package is simple:

julia> using Diversity.Hill

julia> community = [10, 20, 20, 0, 3];

julia> community /= sum(community);

julia> diversities = hillnumber(community, [0, 1, 2])

# Diversity.Hill.hillnumber — Method.

hillnumber(proportions, qs)

Calculate the Hill number (or naive diversity) of order q of population(s) with given relative proportions

Arguments:

proportions: relative proportions of different individuals / species in population (vector, or matrix where columns are individual populations)
qs: single number or vector of orders of diversity measurement

Returns:

Diversity of order qs (single number or vector of diversities)
