Bootstrap Species Richness Estimator

Description

Computes the bootstrap species richness estimator for abundance or presence-absence data

Usage

bootstrap(x, taxa.row = TRUE, abund = TRUE, samples = NA)

Arguments

x

a vector, matrix or data frame of positive integers or zero of any size

taxa.row

whether each row of the matrix is a different taxon

abund

whether the input is abundance (or presence/absence) based

samples

if input is a vector file, the number of samples must be included

Details

The bootstrap estimator

Value

Returns a single value for the Bootstrap Species Estimator
