NShannon

The Shannon-Wiener diversity index is based on 
the notion of entropy and measures population heterogeneity.

A set of indexes and tests for the analysis of social segregation.

NShannon function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>- 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 
population, because this will be interpreted as a group.</dd></dl>

Arguments

A function to compute Shannon-Wiener diversity normalized index — NShannon
