Alpha diversity: remove "evenness" method #1598

Closed asizemore closed 1 year ago

asizemore commented 1 year ago

Discussed in the microbiome channel, the "evenness" method in alpha diversity is not appropriate for the data we have. We load relative (normalized) abundance, but the "evenness" method assumes absolute (non-normalized) abundance data.

Until we have the ability for apps to constrain data they use, which is a few build cycles off at least, we decided to simply remove the "evenness" method from alpha diversity.

Evenness is no longer an option
