gradient_from_data

Constructs a gradient or taphonomic conditions from a dataframe or list. If <code>x</code> is a dataframe, the first two columns are used, if <code>x</code> is a list the first two elements are used. The first entry is used as time/stratigraphic position, and the second as gradient/recovery probability.

The fossil record is a joint expression of ecological, taphonomic,
evolutionary, and stratigraphic processes (Holland and Patzkowsky, 2012, ISBN:978-0226649382).
This package allowing to simulate biological processes in the time domain
(e.g., trait evolution, fossil abundance, phylogenetic trees), and examine how their expression
in the rock record (stratigraphic domain) is influenced based on
age-depth models, ecological niche models, and taphonomic effects.
Functions simulating common processes used in modeling trait evolution, biostratigraphy or
event type data such as first/last occurrences are provided and can be used
standalone or as part of a pipeline. The package comes with example
data sets and tutorials in several vignettes, which can be used as a
template to set up one's own simulation.
