spd: Species Power Distribution

In cmerow/meteR: Fitting and Plotting Tools for the Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology (METE)

Description

spd.meteESF calculates the distribution nu(e | N0, S0, E0), the distribution of average metabolic rates across for each species in a commmunity

Usage

spd(x)

## S3 method for class 'meteESF'
spd(x)

Arguments

x	an object of class meteESF.

Details

See examples.

Value

An object of class meteDist. The object contains a list with the following elements.

data

The data used to construct the prediction

d

density funciton

p

cumulative density function

q

quantile funtion

r

random number generator

La

Vector of Lagrange multipliers

state.var

State variables used to constrain entropy maximization

type

Specifies the type of distribution is 'sad'
