cetotrans calculates transition probabilities from colonization and
extinction rates for a determined interval of time, when provided.
Usage
cetotrans(c, e, dt = 1)
Value
A matrix with the transition probabilities \(T_{01}\) and \(T_{10}\) of the Markov chain
associated with the specified colonization and extinction rates.
Arguments
c
Colonization rate.
e
Extinction rate.
dt
Interval of time or a vector of time intervals.
Details
Given a pair of colonization and extinction rates, we can calculate
the transition probabilities with the following equations: $$T_{01} = (e
/ (c + e)) * (1 - exp( - (c + e) * dt))$$ $$T_{10} = (c / (c + e)) * (1 -
exp( - (c + e) * dt))$$
