Summary: Estimate ecological diversity with both parametric and non-parametric estimators.
"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.
Description
CatchAll is a fast, easy-to-use, platform independent software package which applies optimized numerical searching to compute maximum likelihood estimates for finite-mixture models; linear regression-based models with non-diagonal weight matrices; as well as all existing simple nonparametric methods; while accounting for outlier detection/deletion and other data-analytic considerations. Given sample “frequency count” data, CatchAll computes 12 different diversity estimates and compares the results via a model-selection algorithm, providing the user with a best overall choice, along with close competitors. It is accompanied by an Excel-based graphical display spreadsheet program.
