Parameters & Options
Select the abundance/feature columns forming the community matrix (one row per sample). Blank selections fall back to all numeric columns.
Richness, Shannon, Simpson (1−D) and Pielou evenness are appended to your data as a derived dataset you can reuse downstream.
Optional: fill missing numeric values before the analysis runs. Leave as default to keep the method's own handling.
