Given a community size, biodiversity parameter \theta
,
and an immigration rate m
, returns the expected frequency of
species with n
individuals, for 0<n\leq J
.

A two-element vector with first element interpreted as
theta, the Fundamental biodiversity parameter and the second, m,
interpreted as the probability of immigration. This argument will

Boolean, with |
Returns an object of class “phi”.
The method used is slightly inefficient: the terms to the left of the
integral sign [in Volkov's equation 7] are integrated and this is,
strictly, unnecessary as it is not a function of y
. However,
taking advantage of this fact results in messy code.
