rGammaSD: Simulate gamma distributed stage durations.

In jknape/stageFreq: Estimate stage duration distributions and mortality rates from stage frequency data using MCMC

Description

The function is intended to be used in the calculation of Monte Carlo likelihoods.

Usage

rGammaSD(mu, cv, N)

Arguments

mu	A vector of length equal to one minus the number of stages giving the mean stage durations for all but the last stage.
cv	A vector of the same length as mu giving the coefficient of variation, which is equal to one over the square root of the shape, for all but the last stage.
N	The number of stage durations (individuals) to simulate.

Value

A matrix of stage durations where each row gives tha stage durations for one individual.

Examples

## Simulate gamma stage durations for ten individuals.
rGammaSD(mu = c(5,2,4), cv = c(1,.5,.3), N = 10)
