drawCapRatesBeta:
Draw Capture Rates from Beta Distribution
Description
This function is just a wrapper for rbeta which can be used in conjuction with simCapture to simulate capture data where the rates are drawn from a beta distribution
Usage
drawCapRatesBeta(shape1, shape2)
Arguments
shape1
The first shape parameter of the beta distribution
shape2
The second shape parameter of the beta distribution
Value
A function which takes the number of capture rates to draw as an argument
Details
This function returns a function which can be used as an argument for simCapture
