Calculates the area at a point in time from a beta function
calc_Abeta(proptime, proptime_max, peak, Amax)
Numeric
A numeric from 0 to 1. The proportion of time that has elapsed in the simulation, in relation to the total island age (NB: not the simulation time, but island age).
A numeric from 0 to 1. The same as
proportional_peak_t
. Indicates, in proportion to the total island
age when the ontogeny peak should occur (i.e. 0.5 means a peak halfway in
time).
A numeric value specifying the peakiness (or shaprness) of the
ontogeny curve. Higher values imply peakier ontogeny. This value is
internally calculated by calc_peak()
given the area at the
present and the area_pars
.
A numeric value for maximum island area during the simulation.
