  • H is the average of the diversity index over each position in the region, where b denotes positions in one of the boxes and n denotes those not in one of the boxes. Ψ is the difference between H b summed over all threeMus data sets and H n summed over all threeMus data sets. (—) The computation was not relevant in the context of the data set and therefore not done.
