THindex

Tumor Heterogeneity Index Estimating

Concepts

In this package, we use the ecology methods to estimate the Tumor Heterogeneity(TH) based on their mutated loci of variant allele frequencis(VAF).

The inferHeterogeneityPlus estimate the TH based on two different methods in the Package vegan:

• Diveristy indices
• Taxonomic indices.

See also http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Measurements_of_biodiversity for the concepts.
