predictESF {meteR}

predictESF

Description

predict predicts the probabilities for given combinations of abundance and energ from the “ecosystem structure function” R(n,\epsilon)

Usage

predictESF(esf, abund, power)

Arguments

esf

A fitted object of class meteESF

abund

A vector of abundances

power

A vector of metabolic rates

Details

Uses a fitted object of class meteESF and user supplied values of abundance and power to predict values of the ESF

Value

a data.frame with abundance, power, and the predicted value of the ESF
