Main fitting function

HubbellGLM()

Hubbell regression This function mimics the GLM structure. We do so to avoid conflicts with the current glm implementation (if it gets updated)

estimate_sigma()

Estimate the sigma parameter for a HubbellGLM model via BIC minimisation

Prediction

predict_curve()

Predict the accumulation curve from a HubbellGLM model for new observations.

Inference

summary(<HubbellGLM>)

Summary function for the HubbellGLM method

vcov_shared()

Variance-covariance matrix for a HubbellGLM fit, optionally adjusted for shared observations via a sandwich estimator.

Family objects

hubbell()

Hubbell family of genetalized linear models

quasihubbell()

Quasi-Hubbell family of generalized linear models

Link and distribution functions

make.link.hubbell()

Link function for the Hubbell generalized linear model

inv_polyseries()

Function to invert the polyseries

mean_dirichlet_process()

Mean of the n. of species from Dirichlet process

deriv_dirichlet_process()

Derivative of the mean of the Dirichlet process distribution

inv_mean_dirichlet_process()

Invert the mean of the Dirichlet process distribution

rDPspecies()

Simulate the number of distinct species from a Dirichlet process
