scompvar {ecocbo}

Simulated components of variation

Description

scompvar can be used to calculate the average component of variation among units and the average component of variation within samples in terms of sampling effort.

Usage

scompvar(data, n = NULL, m = NULL)

Arguments

data

Object of class "ecocbo_beta" that results from sim_beta().

n

Number of samples to be considered. Defaults to NULL.

m

Site label to be used as basis for the computation. Defaults to NULL.

Value

A data frame containing the values for the variation component among sites compVarA and in the residuals compVarR.

Note

If m or n are left as NULL, the function will calculate the components of variation using the largest available values as set in the experimental design in sim_beta().
