simulateTEF: Simulate trophic enrichment factors

In tRophicPosition: Bayesian Trophic Position Estimation with Stable Isotopes

Simulate trophic enrichment factors

Description

This function returns trophic enrichment factors (TEF), given a number of observations, a mean and a standard deviation for deltaN and/or deltaC. This function has been replaced by simulateTDF, following the convention of naming trophic discrimination factors (TDF) instead of trophic enrichment factors (TEF).

Usage

simulateTEF(
  nN = 56,
  meanN = NULL,
  sdN = 0.98,
  nC = 107,
  meanC = NULL,
  sdC = 1.3
)

Arguments

nN	number of observations for deltaN.
meanN	mean for deltaN.
sdN	standard deviation for deltaN.
nC	number of observations for deltaC.
meanC	mean for deltaC.
sdC	standard deviation for deltaC.

Value

a named list with TEF values for nitrogen and/or carbon

Examples

#simulateTEF() is deprecated, use simulateTDF() instead:

# 25 values of TEF for nitrogen, mean 3, sd, 1
simulateTDF(nN = 25, meanN = 3, sdN = 1)

# 18 values of TEF for carbon, mean 0.6, sd, 0.7
simulateTDF(nC = 18, meanC = 0.6, sdC = 0.7)
