drawCapRatesGeom: Draw Capture Rates from Geometric Distribution

Description

This function is just a wrapper for rgeom which can be used in conjuction with simCapture to simulate capture data where the rates are drawn from a geometric distribution

Usage

drawCapRatesGeom(p)

Arguments

p

Parameter of geometric 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
