plot_lambda: Plot alternative lambda values

In phylospatial: Spatial Phylogenetic Analysis

Plot alternative lambda values

Description

Show a plot illustrating alternative values for the lambda parameter in ps_prioritize. Lambda determines the shape of the "benefit" function that determines the conservation value of protecting a given proportion of the geographic range of a species or clade. Positive values place a higher priority on protecting additional populations of largely unprotected taxa, whereas negative values place a higher priority on protecting additional populations of relatively well-protected taxa. The default value used by ps_prioritize is 1.

Usage

plot_lambda(lambda = c(-1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 2, 1))

Arguments

lambda

A vector of lambda values to plot

Value

Plots a figure

Examples

plot_lambda()
plot_lambda(seq(0, 3, .1))
