NucleotideDiversity: Nucleotide diversity

In VHIRHepatiques/QSutils: Quasispecies Diversity

Nucleotide diversity

Description

Computes the mean pairwise genetic distance between sequences in the alignment.

Usage

NucleotideDiversity(dst,w=NULL)

Arguments

dst	A "dist" object or a symmetrical matrix with haplotype pairwise distances (ie, the output of DNA.dist).
w	An optional numeric vector with the haplotype counts. When w is NULL, the same weight is given to each haplotype, and nucleotide diversity is computed at the entity level.

Value

A value that corresponds to the nucleotide diversity, either by entity or abundance, depending on argument w.
