meteR (version 1.2)

logLik.meteDist: Compute log-likelihood of a meteDist object

Description

logLik.meteDist computes log-likelihood of a meteDist object

Usage

"logLik"(object, ...)

Arguments

object

a meteDist object

...

arguments to be passed

Value

object of class logLik

Details

Degrees of freedom are assumed to be equal to the number of Lagrange multpliers needed to specify the METE prediction. See Examples for usage.

Examples

data(arth)
## object holding ecosystem structure function
esf1 <- meteESF(spp=arth$spp,
                abund=arth$count,
                power=arth$mass^(.75),
                minE=min(arth$mass^(.75)))
## calculate individual power distribution and its likelihood
ipd1 <- ipd(esf1)
logLik(ipd1)
