create.parameter.df: Create parameter data frame

In MetaLandSim: Landscape and Range Expansion Simulation

Create parameter data frame

Description

This function creates a parameter data frame, using parameter values computed with the application available in the papers of Moilanen (1999) and ter Braak and Etienne (2003).

Usage

create.parameter.df(alpha, x, y, e)

Arguments

alpha	Alpha parameter
x	x parameter
y	y parameter
e	e parameter

Details

It is highly recommended that the user reads both papers, as well as the help files.

Value

Returns a data frame, with the same format as the one returned by parameter.estimate for the methods 'Rsnap_1' and 'Rsnap_x'.
