optimal.prob {untb} | R Documentation |
Returns a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of mutation
optimal.prob(x, interval=NULL, ...)
x |
Ecosystem vector or species count table |
interval |
Interval for probability with default of NULL
meaning to use a wide interval |

Further arguments passed to optimize() |
The fundamental biodiversity parameter theta is
2*nu*N, where nu is the probability of
mutation (eg, as estimated by optimal.prob()
), and N is
the size of the ecosystem.
