This release brings the package back to CRAN. The previous CRAN release was 1.2-0.
q
(default domain 0 <= q <= 2) instead of the Patil-Taillie beta profile on
-1 <= beta <= 1. The two profiles are linked by q = beta + 1, but they
are measured on different scales, so numerical results differ from those of
version 1.2-0.beta(), beta_plot(), betaprime(), betaprime_plot(),
betasecond(), betasecond_plot(), curvature(), curvature_plot(),
radius(), radius_plot(), arc(), area() and ranking() are deprecated.
They issue a warning and return the corresponding Hill-number tool.alltools() returns a list and no longer draws plots. export_plots()
requires the output path in file.hill_profile() evaluates the profile on any grid or set of orders,
including Inf; negative orders are available on request.hill_derivative(), hill_curvature() and hill_radius() use analytical
first and second derivatives.hill_cum() and hill_area() compute cumulative integral functions and
areas by the trapezoidal rule, with an optional baseline.hill_total_change() reports changes in area between consecutive rows.hill_surface(), hill_surface_plot() and hill_surface_compare()
compute, draw and compare biodiversity surfaces over time, either as
rotatable plotly figures or as static perspective plots.
