## Functions to compute Rao’s entropy

### Description

Set of functions to estimate Rao’s functional entropy. `Rao` calculates the Rao entropy, `RaoVar` the variance of the Rao estimator, `RaoPow` the Rao entropy of order q, and `RaoPowProfile` the functional Rao entropy profile for the given set of exponents.

### Usage

    Rao(dst, w=NULL)
    RaoVar(dst,w=NULL)
    RaoPow(dst,q,w=NULL)
    RaoPowProfile(dst,w=NULL,q=NULL)

### Arguments

`dst` | A "dist" object, output of the DNA.dist function.
`w` | An optional numeric vector with the haplotype counts. When `w` is NULL the same weight is given to each haplotype.
`q` | Exponent. A single value for `Rao`, `RaoVar` and `RaoPow`. A vector of values for `RaoPowProfile`. The default value for `RaoPowProfile` is a set of exponents to obtain a smooth profile.

### Value

A single value for `Rao`, `RaoVar` and `RaoPow`. A vector of values for `RaoPowProfile` corresponding to each exponent in vector q.
