pool

sampleId

sample corresponding to <code>sampleId</code>

area

vector of length 2 containing the lower and upper bound
    of the pooled area

targetArea

maximum number of unsuccessful pooling tries before the
     algorithm gives up.

maxTry


This function randomly assigns samples to pools of approximately equal area


Tool for analysing benthos data. It estimates several quality
indices like the total abundance of species, species richness,
Margalef's d, AZTI Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), and the BEQI-2 index.
Furthermore, additional (optional) features are provided that enhance data
preprocessing: (1) genus to species conversion, i.e.,taxa counts at the
taxonomic genus level can optionally be converted to the species level and
(2) pooling: small samples are combined to bigger samples with a
standardized size to (a) meet the data requirements of the AMBI,
(b) generate comparable species richness values and
(c) give a higher benthos signal to noise ratio.
