HMulti: A function to compute multi-group entropy segregation index
Description
The multi-group version of Theil's entropy index HTheil
Usage
HMulti(x)
Value
multi-group entropy segregation index
Arguments
x
- an object of class matrix (or which can be coerced to that class),
where each column represents the distribution of a group within
spatial units. The number of columns should be greater than 1 (at least 2
groups are required). You should not include a column with total
