Abstract

In recent years, Deng entropy has attracted considerable interest and found applications in various fields. Deng Entropy is an entropic equation developed within the framework of the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence and is based on basic probability assignment. In this study, a new taxonomic diversity index based on Deng entropy was used. The study investigated the benthic algal flora of Munzur and Pülümür rivers in Tunceli, using data from six sample sites collected between October 2016 and September 2017. The results indicate that the proposed new index is applicable for calculating taxonomic diversity. However, to better understand the performance of this new index, further studies comparing it with other traditional and taxonomic diversity indices using a wide range of ecological data are needed

Pülümür ve Munzur Nehirlerindeki Bentik Alglerin Deng Entropi Tabanlı Taksonomik Çeşitlilik Ölçümleri

Abstract

Son yıllarda Deng entropisi büyük ilgi çekmiş ve çeşitli alanlarda uygulama alanı bulmuştur. Deng Entropisi, Dempster-Shafer Kanıt Teorisi çerçevesinde geliştirilen ve temel olasılık atamasına dayanan entropik bir denklemdir. Bu çalışmada, Deng entropisine dayalı yeni bir taksonomik çeşitlilik indeksi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Tunceli'deki Munzur ve Pülümür nehirlerinin bentik alg florası, Ekim 2016 ve Eylül 2017 tarihleri arasında toplanan altı örnek alandan elde edilen veriler kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, önerilen yeni indeksin taksonomik çeşitliliği hesaplamak için uygulanabilir olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, bu yeni indeksin performansını daha iyi anlamak için, geniş bir ekolojik veri yelpazesi kullanarak diğer geleneksel ve taksonomik çeşitlilik indeksleriyle karşılaştıran daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
