zsm: Zero sum multinomial distribution as derived by McKane

Description

The Zero sum multinomial distribution of species abundances as derived by McKane 2004.

Usage

zsm(J, P, m)

Arguments

J
Size of local community
P
Abundance in metacommunity
m
Probability of immigration

Value

  • Returns a vector of size J showing the probability of the stationary abundance being $1,\ldots,J$.
