\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\item{hprabclust}{An unpublished alternative to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}}.
