abstract: 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.
