generatedemodata

Creates a <code>CommunityClimateInput-class</code> object for usage in demos. Creates a regional pool of species with normally distributed climate niches within some region of climate space. Then chooses a subset of these species with climate niches closer to the origin to represent the local community, and defines an observed climate at another location in climate space.

Computes community climate statistics for volume and mismatch using species' climate niches either unscaled or scaled relative to a regional species pool. These statistics can be used to describe biogeographic patterns and infer community assembly processes. Includes a vignette outlining usage.
