paleoAM: Simulating Assemblage Models of Abundance for the Fossil Record

Provides functions for fitting abundance distributions over environmental gradients to the species in ecological communities, and tools for simulating the fossil assemblages from those abundance models for such communities, as well as simulating assemblages across various patterns of sedimentary history and sampling. These tools are for particular use with fossil records with detailed age models and abundance distributions used for calculating environmental gradients from ordinations or other indices based on fossil assemblages.
