Dear useRs, The FD package is intended for ecologists interested in functional diversity (FD). It measures different functional diversity indices from multiple traits (any type of traits). The first version of FD (1.0-0) is now available on CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/FD/ The main functions of FD are: dbFD: Compute different multidimensional FD indices gowdis: Gower dissimilarity, including options for variable weights, asymetric binary variables, and implementing Podani's (1999) extension to ordinal variables fdisp: Functional dispersion functcomp: Functional composition (community-weighted means ot trait values, or CWM) I hope that FD will be useful to you. Feedback would be appreciated.
