Iterative Extrapolation of Species' Haplotype Accumulation Curves for Genetic Diversity Assessment

Performs iterative extrapolation of species' haplotype accumulation curves using a nonparametric stochastic (Monte Carlo) optimization method for assessment of specimen sampling completeness based on the approach of Phillips et al. (2015) , Phillips et al. (2019) and Phillips et al. (2020) . Any genomic marker can be targeted to assess likely required specimen sample sizes. The method is well-suited to assess sampling sufficiency for DNA barcoding initiatives.
