Description

Calculates the low-level diversity component necessary for calculating raw beta diversity.

Usage

raw_beta(meta)

Arguments

meta

object of class metacommunity

Value

raw_beta returns an object of class relativeentropy

Details

Values generated from raw_beta() may be input into subdiv() and metadiv() to calculate raw subcommunity and metacommunity beta diversity.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pop <- data.frame(a = c(1,3), b = c(1,1))
row.names(pop) <- paste0("sp", 1:2)
pop <- pop/sum(pop)
meta <- metacommunity(pop)

# Calculate raw beta component
b <- raw_beta(meta)
subdiv(b, 1)
metadiv(b, 1)

# }
