[R-sig-eco] Rao entropy with presence-absence data

Hello,
Is it possible, and meaningful, to calculate  Rao`s quadratic entropy 
index (function dbFD from package FD) with presence-absence data? I 
don't get a error message but when I use the function with 
(...,scale.Rao=TRUE) the calculations never end.

Thank you for your answer.

/Thomas
