dist.prop {ade4} | R Documentation

## Computation of Distance Matrices of Percentage Data

### Description

computes for percentage data some distance matrices.

### Usage

    dist.prop(df, method = NULL, diag = FALSE, upper = FALSE)

### Arguments

`df` | a data frame containing only positive or null values, used as row percentages
`method` | an integer between 1 and 5. If NULL the choice is made with a console message. See details
`diag` | a logical value indicating whether the diagonal of the distance matrix should be printed by `print.dist'
`upper` | a logical value indicating whether the upper triangle of the distance matrix should be printed by `print.dist'

### Details

1 = Manly
  d1 = sum|p(i) - q(i)|/2
2 = Overlap index Manly
  d2 = 1 - Sum(p(i)q(i))/sqrt(Sum(p(i)^2)/sqrt(Sum(q(i)^2)
3 = Rogers 1972 (one locus)
  d3 = sqrt(0.5*Sum(p(i)-q(i)^2))
4 = Nei 1972 (one locus)
  d4 = -ln(Sum(p(i)q(i)/sqrt(Sum(p(i)^2)/sqrt(Sum(q(i)^2))
5 = Edwards 1971 (one locus)
  d5= sqrt (1 - (Sum(sqrt(p(i)q(i))))

### Value

returns a distance matrix, object of class `dist`
