utc.sim {multirich}

Sensitivity Simulator

Description

Function to help run simulations for sensitivity analysis. Note that for simplicity, the number of traits is restricted to two, each with the same range of values, as can be done for real traits by standardizing by range.

Usage

utc.sim(
  n.reps,
  n.recs,
  tr1.lim,
  tr2.lim,
  sim.type = "random",
  filter.vals = "none"
)

Arguments

n.reps

The number of replicates for the simulation

n.recs

The number of records in the record x trait matrix

tr1.lim

The minimum and maximum allowable values for trait 1

tr2.lim

The minimum and maximum allowable values for trait 2

sim.type

"random" runs random assembly (or if any sim.type other than limiting or filter is specified), "limiting" runs limiting similarity, and "filter" applies an environmental filter.

filter.vals

Vector of filter values in text form with a semi-colon delimiter (sorry!) e.g., c("1,1", "1;2") would only allow values of 1,1 and 2,2 in the data.
