sim4: Sim4 Co-occurrence Randomization Algorithm

Description

Randomizes a binary matrix speciesData by reshuffling elements within each row. Sampling weights for each column are proportional to column sums. Makes a call to the vector_sample function.

Usage

sim4(speciesData)

Arguments

speciesData
binary presence-absence matrix (rows = species, columns = sites).

Value

Returns a binary presence-absence matrix with the same dimensions and rowsums as the input matrix.

Details

This algorithm preserves differences among species in occurrence frequencies, but assumes differences among sites in suitability are proportional to observed species richness (= column sums).
