# BBI

Set of functions to calculate Benthic Biotic Indices from composition data, obtained whether from morphotaxonomic inventories or sequencing data.

It takes composition data with associated taxonomic assignments as input and output biotic indices values.
It also return the ecological quality status for each pair of sample-BBI.
These BBI values can be used to calculate the normalized Ecological Quality Ratio (nEQR)

The composition can be derived from morpho-taxonomy or DNA based assignements.

## Requirements

To be able to use the BBI package, the following is required:
1. R or RStudio
2. vegan package
3. BBI package (see the installation section below)
4. Composition data (see below for format)

## Installation

The BBI package, in its lastest stable release, is available at:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BBI/index.html
It can be installed using the following command within R :
```
install.packages("BBI")
```

Alternatively, the developpement version can be installed by typing these commands in R :

```
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("trtcrd/BBI")
```



## An example of composition data adequate for BBI

taxa|Sample1|Sample2|Sample3|Sample4|...
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---  | ---
Capitella capitata|11|204|100|299|...
Paramphinome jeffreysii|3|2201|100|388|...
Nematoda sp.|0|20|130|10|...
Glycera alba|147|0|0|9|...
Nemertea indet.|17|0|110|15|...
...|...|...|...|...


## Usage example

There is two functions:
BBI calculates and return for each sample the biotic indices values and their ecological quality status.
nEQR calculates and return for each sample the nEQR values and the associated normalized ecological quality status.

```
library(BBI)
# calculating BBI values and ecological quality status
my_BBI <- BBI(my_composition_data)
# calculating nEQR values and ecological quality status
my_nEQR <- nEQR(my_BBI$BBI)

```
