TernPlot {STEPCAM}

Create a ternary plot from results of the STEPCAM_ABC function

Description

This function plots the obtained combinations of dispersal assembly, habitat filtering and limiting similarity of best fitting models in a Ternary plot, similar to Figure 3 in van der Plas et al. 2015

Usage

TernPlot(output)

Arguments

output

A list with the following elements:
- DA a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter dispersal assembly
- HF a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter habitat filtering
- LS a vector containing the posterior distribution for the parameter limiting similarity
This list is generated as output by the function STEPCAM_ABC
