Description

sprex is a package for calculating species richness for rarefaction and extrapolation. It contains functions for calculating non-parametric species richness such as jackknife, Chao1, and ACE. Also available are functions for plotting species richness and extrapolation curves, and standard diversity and entropy indices.
