It's a pretty simple formula, according to the sources I found.
Here's a function that looks right to me, but I have no independent
calculation with which to check it.
(no guarantees!)
Hb <- function(ns) {
N <- sum(ns)
(lfactorial(N) - sum(lfactorial(ns)))/N
}
> ns <- c(3,5,2,8)
> Hb(ns)
[1] 1.028802
