# Alpha diversity and variation in the mean efficiency {#diversity-and-mean-efficiency} | ||
|
||
The diversity of order $q$ is given by | ||
\begin{align} | ||
^qD = \left(\sum_{i=1}^n p_i^q\right)^{1 /(1-q)}, | ||
\end{align} | ||
where $^qD$ is understood to be given by the limit of the RHS when $q = 1$ (and so the given expression is undefined). | ||
The order-2 diversity is therefore | ||
\begin{align} | ||
^2D = \frac{1}{\sum_{i=1}^n {p_i^2}}, | ||
\end{align} | ||
which is equivalent to the Inverse Simpson Index (REF Jost). | ||
|
||
Consider an infinite pool of species. | ||
Let $\sigma^{2}$ denote the variance in the relative efficiency among species in the pool. | ||
Consider a community that is assembled by randomly choosing $K \ge 1$ species from the pool and setting the abundances of the $K$ species in a manner that is independent of their efficiencies. | ||
|
||
**Claim:** | ||
Let $\rho_{k}$ for $1 \le k \le K$ denote the proportions of the $K$ species in the community; this new notation serves as a reminder that the subscript $k$ indexes a random species specific to this particular community. | ||
Conditional on the order-2 diversity $^2D$ of a community, the arithmetic variance in the mean efficiency is | ||
\begin{align} | ||
Var[\bar B \mid ^2D] | ||
% = \sigma^2 \sum_{k=1}^K \rho_k^2 | ||
= \frac{\sigma^2}{^2D}. | ||
\end{align} | ||
|
||
**Proof:** Let $\beta_{k}$ denote the efficiency of the $k$-th sampled species. | ||
The mean efficiency is therefore $\bar B = \sum_k \rho_k \beta_k$. | ||
Conditional on the proportions $\{\rho_{k}\}$, the variance in the mean efficiency is | ||
\begin{align} | ||
Var[\bar B \mid \{\rho_{k}\}] | ||
&= \sum_{k=1}^K \rho_k^2 Var[\beta_k] | ||
\\&= \left(\sum_{k=1}^K p_k^2\right) \sigma^2. | ||
\end{align} | ||
The first line follows from the fact that the $\beta_{k}$ are independent. | ||
The summation in the final line is equal to $1/2^D$, thus proving the result. | ||
|
||
**Note:** | ||
We have showed that the arithmetic (additive) variance of $\bar B$ decreases with $^2D$; however, the geometric (multiplicative) variance is most relevant for understanding the effect of bias on DA. | ||
As $2^D$ increases, the distribution of $\bar B$ will converge (by the central limit theorem) to a normal distribution, and both the arithmetic and geometric variance will decrease. | ||
