Hi folks! I'm a beginner and I'm learning how to use R.
I need to calculate the value of Simpson Diversity Index (*D*=1-Σ*pi*^2; where *p* is the relative abundance of the species* i*) of one sample (e.g., diversity of bromeliad spiders) and test the significance of this value. For this I'll need to randomize samples while conserving the observed species abundance and sample-size distributions. After this, in need to repeate these randomizations 10.000 times to form a null distribution and assessing the statistical significance by compare the observad D value with the null distribution. But unfortunately, I don't know how to run this procedure in R software. Please, can anybody help me? Thank you in advance ------------------------------------ Thiago Gonçalves-Souza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
