Brillouin Diversity Index.
index_brillouin(x, ...)# S4 method for numeric
index_brillouin(x, evenness = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
A numeric vector.

The Brillouin index describes a known collection: it does not assume random sampling in an infinite population. Pielou (1975) and Laxton (1978) argues for the use of the Brillouin index in all circumstances, especially in preference to the Shannon index.
