Description

It compares an object genrated either by the Mostconected or ExtinctionOrder functions with a null hypothesis generated by the RandomExtinctions function and it tests weather they are significantly different.

Usage

CompareExtinctions(Nullmodel, Hypothesis)

Value

a plot comparing the expected value of secondary extinctions originated at random with the observed extinction history. Also, and a goodness of fit test showing if there are significant differences between expected value of secondary extinctions and the observed secondary extinction history.
