Description: Provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing diversity
        from frequency/abundance count data. Implements a wide range of
        classical and entropy-based diversity indices, including
        Berger-Parker, Simpson (and related variants), Shannon,
        Brillouin, McIntosh, Margalef, Menhinick and Smith-Wilson.
        Supports permutation-based hypothesis tests for comparing
        groups with respect to diversity (global and pairwise
        comparisons), as well as confidence interval estimation using
        multiple bootstrap methods. Includes functionality for
        generating diversity profiles based on parametric families such
        as Hill numbers, Rényi entropy, and Tsallis entropy. The
        methods are applicable to ecological community data (species
        abundance counts) and genetic or phenotypic class frequency
        data.
