plotRate: Plot speciation and extinction rates through time
In laser: Likelihood Analysis of Speciation/Extinction Rates from Phylogenies

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also

Plots diversification rates through time estimated from fits of exponential speciation and extinction models (Rabosky & Lovette 2008).

1	plotRate(bt, pars)

`bt`	A numeric vector of branching times
`pars`	a list of parameters, with named components lam0, k, mu0, and z

Plots speciation and extinction curves through time for models fitted using fitSPVAR, fitEXVAR, and fitBOTHVAR. If you want to plot the rate from SPVAR, note that this corresponds to assuming a very large z parameter; Try suppling z = 10000 or similar. Likewise, if you want to plot the fit from EXVAR, supply k = 0.

Just plots the rates.
