Which Diversity Index is Calculated Using This Equation: -

Question

Which diversity index is calculated using this equation: -$\Sigma$pilnpi
A) Jaccard
B) Gini-Simpson
C) Simple matching
D) Dominance
E) Shannon

Accepted Answer

The equation provided, despite being unclear, seems to reference the calculation of diversity using logarithms, which is characteristic of the Shannon diversity index. The Shannon index measures the entropy in a dataset, indicating the diversity of species in a community by considering both the abundance and evenness of species present.
