Subtract axial distributions
Description
Subtract axial distributions, finding the difference (under an additive variance framework). This is most useful when one distribution subsumes another and includes a unique dispersal event that needs to be extracted. For example, the FS category is subsumed by the 1C category, which can be written 'FS + PO'. In this circumstance, subtracting FS from 1C will yield an estimate of the PO kernel (the basic intergenerational dispersal kernel)
Usage
axials_subtract(abig, asmall)
Arguments
abig |
numeric. The axial dispersal distance of the larger (subsuming) distribution (e.g. 1C). |
asmall |
numeric. The axial dispersal distance of the smaller (subsumed) distribution (e.g. FS). |
Value
numeric Returns an estimate of the axial dispersal distance of those dispersal elements that are unique to the larger dispersal distribution (e.g. PO).
