drawCapRatesGamma: Draw Capture Rates from Gamma Distribution
In capwire: Estimates population size from non-invasive sampling

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

This function is just a wrapper for rgamma which can be used in conjuction with simCapture to simulate capture data where the rates are drawn from a gamma distribution

1	drawCapRatesGamma(shape, rate)

`shape`	Shape parameter of gamma distribution
`rate`	Rate parameter of gamma distribution

This function returns a function which can be used as an argument for simCapture

A function which takes the number of capture rates to draw as an argument

## Specify the distribution

dist <- drawCapRatesGamma(shape=0.5, rate=0.5)

## Simulate a data set with the capture rates drawn from dist

data <- simCapture(n=30, s=100, dist.func=dist)
