Step1_Empirical_Parameterization: Step 1: Generate and/or parameterize Lotka-Volterra...

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Generates parameterized networks and abundance data that can be simulated in Step 2.

Usage

Step1_Empirical_Parameterization(web, foldname = web, path = "Data",
  nruns = 30, Immigration = TRUE, seed = NULL)

Arguments

web

empirical network name ("caricaie", "otago", "serengeti", "sylt", "ythan", "flensburg", "reef", "stmarks", or "tatoosh")

foldname

Folder name where matrices and abundance vectors should be written

path

Path where data are kept. 'foldname' will be created as a folder here if it does not already exist

nruns

Number of parameterizations to be generated.

Immigration

flag marking whether to generate networks under an immigration model or closed model. Defaults to TRUE.

seed

Random seed for reproducibility

Value

This function does not return an object, but it writes parameterized matrices (with file names ending in '-mat.txt') and vectors of equilibrium abundances (with file names ending in '-pop.txt') to the folder path/foldname.
