competition.kernel {comsimitv}

Competition kernels

Description

User defined functions for calculating pairwise competition coefficients

Arguments

trait.values

Values of trait related to resource use

...

Additional parameters

Details

User can defined any specific from of competition. Pairwise competition between species/individuals should depend on their trait values related to resource use. Vector of these trait values has to be the first parameter of the function, and any further parameters are allowed. The output has to be a square matrix of pairwise competition coefficients.

Competition kernels available in the package:
asymmetric.competition.kernel
Gaussian.competition.kernel

Value

Square matrix of pairwise competition coefficients
