Express Beta Diversity (EBD) is a software package for calculating taxon- or phylogenetic-based beta diversity measures. EBD is available as C++ source code under the GNU GPL v3. A precompiled binary is provided for Windows users and simple compilation instructions provided for OSX and Linux. Currently EBD supports the following beta-diversity measures:
- Bray-Curtis (aka: normalized weighted UniFrac, Sorensen, Steinhaus, Odum, percentage difference, pairwise Whittaker)
- Canberra
- Chi-squared
- Coefficient o similarity
- Complete tree
- Euclidean
- Fst
- Gower
- Hellinger
- Kulczynski (aka: Kulczynski-Cody, Sokal-Sneath)
- Lennon compositional difference
- Manhattan (aka: taxicab, city-block, unnormalized weighted UniFrac)
- Mean nearest neighbour distance (aka: comdistnn)
- Mean phylogenetic distance (aka: comdist)
- Morisita-Horn
- Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient
- Rao's Hp
- Soergel (aka: Jaccard, unweighted UniFrac, Ruzicka, Marczewski-Steinhaus, percentage remoteness)
- Species profile
- Tamas coefficient (TC) (aka: simple matching coefficient)
- Whittaker index of association
- Yue-Clayton (aka: similarity ratio)
