STEPCAM (version 1.2)

TernPlot: Create a ternary plot from results of the STEPCAM_ABC function

Description

This function plots the obtained combinations of dispersal assembly, habitat filtering and limiting similarity of best fitting models in a Ternary plot, similar to Figure 3 in van der Plas et al. 2015

Usage

TernPlot(output)

Arguments

output

A list with the following elements: - DA a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter dispersal assembly - HF a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter habitat filtering - LS a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter limiting similarity This list is generated as output by the function STEPCAM_ABC
