An R package to compute several plasticity indices

Plasticity

An R package to determine several plasticity indices, as in Valladares et al. 2006, Journal of Ecology.

At the current moment, the package is still under development, and only one of the plasticity indices is available: RDPI (Relative Distance Plasticity Index). If you want to contribute with a function to calculate any other of the indices included in that paper (or elsewhere), please feel free to contact the author of the package or do a pull request in GitHub.
