DAISIE_convertprobdist {DAISIE}

Converts the joint distribution of endemics and non-endemics under the DAISIE model to list format

Description

This function converts the joint distribution of the number of endemics and non-endemics from the matrix format of DAISIE_probdist to a list format

Usage

DAISIE_convertprobdist(pb)

Arguments

pb

Probability distribution in matrix format as output by DAISIE_probdist().

Value

A list of length nrow(pb) containing matrices of square dimensions of size sqrt(ncol - 1) containing the joint probabilities with endemics in the rows and non-endemics in the columns. The last element of the list is a vector a times at which the joint probability distribution is evaluated.

Examples

### Compute the probability distribution at t = 4 and t = 8, for a mainland pool
# size of 250 potential colonists and a vector of 5 parameters (cladogenesis, extinction,
# clade-level carrying capacity, immigration, anagenesis) starting from an empty
# island; store in list format
