\title{Dice distance matrix}
\description{
Computes a distance derived from Dice's coincidence index
between the columns of a 0-1-matrix.
}
\usage{
dicedist(regmat)
}
%- maybe also `usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{regmat}{0-1-matrix. Columns are species, rows are regions.}
}
\details{
The Dice distance between two species is 1 minus the Coincidence
Index, which is (2*number of regions where
both species are present)/(2*number of regions where
both species are present plus number of regions where at least one
species is present). This is S23 in Shi (1993).
}
\value{
A symmetrical matrix of Dice distances.
