StablePopulation (version 1.0.3)

Calculates Alpha for a Stable Population

Description

Provides tools to calculate the alpha parameter of the Weibull distribution, given beta and the age-specific fertility of a species, so that the population remains stable and stationary. Methods are inspired by "Survival profiles from linear models versus Weibull models: Estimating stable and stationary population structures for Pleistocene large mammals" (Martín-González et al. 2019) .
