datasets

Various tree commnunity abundance data sets to test and illustrate the Independent Species approach.<ul>
<li>dset1.abunvec contains a list of 6 samples of tree abundances from 6 tropical forest plots (BCI, Korup, Pasoh, Sinharaja, Yasuni, Lambir).</li>
<li>dset2.abunvec contains a list of 11 lists with one of 11 samples from BCI combined with samples from Cocoli and Sherman.</li>
<li>dset3.abunvec contains a list of 6 lists with 2 samples, each from one dispersal guild, for 6 tropical forest communities (BCI, Korup, Pasoh, Sinharaja, Yasuni, Lambir).</li>
<li>dset4a.abunvec contains a list of 6 samples from 6 censuses of BCI (1982, 1985, 1990, 1995, 200, 2005) with dbh &gt; 1 cm.</li>
<li>dset4b.abunvec contains a list of 6 samples from 6 censuses of BCI (1982, 1985, 1990, 1995, 200, 2005) with dbh &gt; 10 cm.</li>

Computes the probability of a set of species abundances of a single or multiple samples of individuals with one or more guilds under a mainland-island model. One must specify the mainland (metacommunity) model and the island (local) community model. It assumes that species fluctuate independently. The package also contains functions to simulate under this model. See Haegeman, B. & R.S. Etienne (2017). A general sampling formula for community structure data. Methods in Ecology & Evolution 8: 1506-1519 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12807>.
