Δ=[ ΣΣi<j ωij xixj]/[ Σi xi (Σi xi-1)/2 ], Σi xi=N= total clusters: The expected dissimilarity between any two individuals chosen at random (ωij=1 Simpson diversity)
Particles with similar optical properties are clustered into groups or clusters. Sometimes, these clusters contain pure phytoplankton species of one kind, but it is also possible that it consist of several fytoplankton species due to similar optical properties.
D1(x1,x2) = √( Σ(y1j-y2j)^2), y1j,y2j are normalized distances. All indexes acc. Legendre, Warwick en Clark)
