virtualNicheR (version 1.0)
Generating Virtual Fundamental and Realised Niches
Description
The ability to generate virtual niches enables virtual ecology
experiments that have been advocated for evaluating species-environment
relationship models. Using multivariate normal distributions and matrix
algebra this package provides a unique computational framework to generate
integrated fundamental and realised niches, which is important given
differences in possible complexity of realised niche shapes that result
from biotic interactions Etherington and Omondiagbe (2019) .
