ABC-SMC Inference of STEPCAM
Description
ABC-SMC inference of the relative contribution of dispersal assembly, filtering and limiting similarity through the use of stepwise commmunity assembly.
Updates
Version 1.2
- STEPCAM can now be found on GitHub: https://github.com/thijsjanzen/STEPCAM
- Merged STEPCAM code with the supplementary code of Hauffe et al. 2016
- Added two vignettes
- Added a large number of code tests
Version 1.1.2
- updated the prior - now all three processes have a mean prior value of 1/3, and a log-normal kind shape in [0,1]
Version 1.1.1
- fixed a bug in the ABC-SMC code leading to the error "Error in if (fit < threshold) : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed"
Version 1.1
- calculation of the diversity indices is plit up into two parts: calculating the ordination axes, and the actual calculation of the indices - this allows for a speed up of the code by moving the calculation of the ordination axes outside the SMC algorithm. Many thanks to Torsten Hauffe for this improvement!
- Corrected scaling of the dbFD function - it now always treats abundances as presence/absence data, much thanks to Torsten Hauffe for pointing this out!
- updated references
