vreq: Creator function for the 'vreq' S3 class

In reumandc/tsvr: Timescale-Specific Variance Ratio for Use in Community Ecology

Description

The vreq (variance ratio equation) class is for storing equations based on a variance ratio, as in Wang S. & Loreau M. (2016) Biodiversity and ecosystem stability across scales in metacommunities, Ecol Lett, 19, 510-518. This is a general class from which other classes inherit (vreq_classic, vreq_LdM). vreq inherits from the list class.

Usage

vreq(com, comnull, vr)

Arguments

com	A single positive number
comnull	Another single positive number
vr	Another single positive number

Value

vreq returns an object of class vreq. Slots are:

com	a single positive number equal to comnull*vr
comnull	a single positive number
vr	a single positive number
