\title{prabclus package overview}
\description{
  Here is a list of the main functions in package prabclus. Most other
  functions are auxiliary functions for these.
}
\section{Initialisation}{
  \describe{
    \item{prabinit}{Initialises presence/absence-, abundance- and
      multilocus data with dominant markers for use with most other key
      prabclus-functions.}
    \item{alleleinit}{Initialises multilocus data with codominant
      markers for use with key prabclus-functions.}
    \item{alleleconvert}{Generates the input format required by
      \code{\link{alleleinit}}.}
    }}
\section{Tests for clustering and nestedness}{
  \describe{
    \item{prabtest}{
      Computes the tests introduced in Hausdorf and Hennig (2003) and
      Hennig and Hausdorf (2004; these tests occur in some further 
      publications of ours but this one is the most detailed statistical
      reference) for presence/absence data. Allows use of the
      geco-dissimilarity (Hennig and Hausdorf, 2006).}
    \item{abundtest}{
      Computes the test introduced in Hausdorf and Hennig (2007) for
      abundance data.}
    \item{homogen.test}{A classical distance-based test for homogeneity
      going back to Erdos and Renyi (1960) and Ling (1973).}
    }}
\section{Clustering}{
  \describe{
    \item{prabclust}{Species clustering for biotic element analysis
      (Hausdorf and Hennig, 2007, Hennig and Hausdorf, 2004 and others),
      clustering of individuals for species delimitation (Hausdorf and
      Hennig, 2010) based on Gaussian mixture model clustering with
      noise as implemented in R-package \code{mclust}, Fraley and
      Raftery (1998),  on output of
      multidimensional scaling from distances as computed by
      \code{\link{prabinit}} or \code{\link{alleleinit}}. See also
      \code{\link{stressvals}} for help with choosing the number of
      MDS-dimensions.} 
    \item{hprabclust}{An unpublished alternative to
      \code{\link{prabclust}} using hierarchical clustering methods.}
    \item{lociplots}{Visualisation of clusters of genetic markers vs.
      clusters of species.}
    \item{NNclean}{Nearest neighbor based classification of observations
      as noise/outliers according to Byers and Raftery (1998).}
}}
\section{Dissimilarity matrices}{
  \describe{
    \item{alleledist}{Shared allele distance (see the corresponding help
      pages for references).}
    \item{dicedist}{Dice distance.}
    \item{geco}{geco coefficient, taking geographical distance into account.}
    \item{jaccard}{Jaccard distance.}
    \item{kulczynski}{Kulczynski dissimilarity.}
    \item{qkulczynski}{Quantitative Kulczynski dissimilarity for
      abundance data.}
}}
\section{Communities}{
  \describe{
    \item{communities}{Constructs communities from geographical
      distances between individuals.}
    \item{communitydist}{chord-, phiPT- and various versions of the
      shared allele distance between communities.}
}}
\section{Tests for equality of dissimilarity-based regression}{
  \describe{
    \item{regeqdist}{Jackknife-based test for equality of
      two independent regressions between distances (Hausdorf and Hennig
      2019).}
    \item{regdistbetween}{Jackknife-based test for equality of
      regression involving all distances and regression involving
      within-group distances only (Hausdorf and Hennig
      2019).}
    \item{regdistbetweenone}{Jackknife-based test for equality of
      regression involving within-group distances of a reference group
      only and regression involving between-group distances (Hausdorf
      and Hennig 2019).}
}}
\section{Small conversion functions}{
  \describe{
    \item{coord2dist}{Computes geographical distances from geographical
      coordinates.}
    \item{geo2neighbor}{Computes a neighborhood list from geographical
      distances.}
    \item{alleleconvert}{A somewhat restricted function for conversion
      of different file formats used for genetic data with codominant markers.}
}}
\section{Data sets}{
      \code{\link{kykladspecreg}}, \code{\link{siskiyou}},
  \code{\link{veronica}}, \code{\link{tetragonula}}.
