Here is a list of the main functions in package prabclus. Most other functions are auxiliary functions for these.
Initialises presence/absence-, abundance- and multilocus data with dominant markers for use with most other key prabclus-functions.
Initialises multilocus data with codominant markers for use with key prabclus-functions.
Generates the input format required by
alleleinit.
Computes the tests introduced in Hausdorf and Hennig (2003) and Hennig and Hausdorf (2004; these tests occur in some further publications of ours but this one is the most detailed statistical reference) for presence/absence data. Allows use of the geco-dissimilarity (Hennig and Hausdorf, 2006).
Computes the test introduced in Hausdorf and Hennig (2007) for abundance data.
A classical distance-based test for homogeneity going back to Erdos and Renyi (1960) and Ling (1973).
Species clustering for biotic element analysis
(Hausdorf and Hennig, 2007, Hennig and Hausdorf, 2004 and others),
clustering of individuals for species delimitation (Hausdorf and
Hennig, 2010) based on Gaussian mixture model clustering with
noise as implemented in R-package mclust, Fraley and
Raftery (1998), on output of
multidimensional scaling from distances as computed by
prabinit or alleleinit. See also
stressvals for help with choosing the number of
MDS-dimensions.
An unpublished alternative to
prabclust using hierarchical clustering methods.
Visualisation of clusters of genetic markers vs. clusters of species.
Nearest neighbor based classification of observations as noise/outliers according to Byers and Raftery (1998).
Shared allele distance (see the corresponding help pages for references).
Dice distance.
geco coefficient, taking geographical distance into account.
Jaccard distance.
Kulczynski dissimilarity.
Quantitative Kulczynski dissimilarity for abundance data.
Constructs communities from geographical distances between individuals.
chord-, phiPT- and various versions of the shared allele distance between communities.
Jackknife-based test for equality of two independent regressions between distances (Hausdorf and Hennig 2019).
Jackknife-based test for equality of regression involving all distances and regression involving within-group distances only (Hausdorf and Hennig 2019).
Jackknife-based test for equality of regression involving within-group distances of a reference group only and regression involving between-group distances (Hausdorf and Hennig 2019).
Computes geographical distances from geographical coordinates.
Computes a neighborhood list from geographical distances.
A somewhat restricted function for conversion of different file formats used for genetic data with codominant markers.
