Implements the DivE diversity estimator. Combines multiple objects of class DiversityMaster.
Usage
comb.dm(dmlist)
Arguments
dmlist
list of objects of class DiversityMaster.
Details
comb.dm combines multiple objects of class DiversityMaster. Function used if DivE estimation has been split into multiple, separate calls to DiveMaster.
Value
An object of class DiversityMaster, i.e. a list of objects
model.score
a matrix of aggregated model scores
fmm
a list of fitsingMod objects corresponding to the list of fitted models
ssm
a matrix of scores of the fit of the models corresponding to the list of fitted models
estimate
the estimate of species richness (number of species/classes or diversity) at population size tot.pop. This is the geometric average of the models corresponding to the top-five model scores. This is recalculated based on the combined list of models
lower_estimate
as per estimate value, but the lowest prediction amongst the models having the top-five scores. This is recalculated based on the combined list of models
upper_estimate
as per estimate value, but the highest prediction amongst the models having the top-five scores. This is recalculated based on the combined list of models
models
list of original input models
m
number of topscoring models used for diversity estimate. This is set as the smallest m value of each of the DiversityMaster objects in the list
