Abstract
In environmental statistics, surveys on the structure of biological communities are generally carried out by focusing on diversity indexes.Amore complete analysis may be performed by means of an appropriate function giving a spectrum of different measures of diversity: diversity profiles. They can be expressed as a function of the unknown abundance vector of the ecological population. In this paper we develop a non parametric approach based on bootstrap in order to make inference on diversity profiles. The proposed procedure is applied on biological data of four parks in Milan, Italy.File in questo prodotto:
