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

Examples

## Specify the distribution

dist <- drawCapRatesBeta(shape1=1, shape2=0.5)

## Simulate a data set with the capture rates drawn from dist

data <- simCapture(n=30, s=100, dist.func=dist)
