IslandSpArea


4. Island biogeography is a branch of  ecology, which discusses evolution and spread of species on Islands. One of the theories is that as area of island shrinks the number of species of animals living on the island declines, but probably not linearly. One model suggested is $sp= k*A^z$ where A is area and k, z are constants. 


datasets

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.
