plotRate: Plot speciation and extinction rates through time
Description
Plots diversification rates through time estimated from fits of exponential speciation and extinction models (Rabosky & Lovette 2008).
Usage
plotRate(bt, pars)
Arguments
bt
A numeric vector of branching times
pars
a list of parameters, with named components lam0, k, mu0, and z
Value
Just plots the rates.
Details
Plots speciation and extinction curves through time for models fitted using fitSPVAR, fitEXVAR, and fitBOTHVAR.
If you want to plot the rate from SPVAR, note that this corresponds to assuming a very large z parameter; Try suppling z = 10000 or similar.
Likewise, if you want to plot the fit from EXVAR, supply k = 0.
