trivial niche model

Models a trivial niche, meaning the niche of a taxon that has no environmental preferences. Mainly used as default input to last_occ and range_offset. When passed to apply_niche, this will effectively result in no niche model being applied.

Usage

trivial_niche(x)

Arguments

x

gradient value at which the niche is evaluated

Value

A vector of the same length as x with all entries replaced by 1.

Examples

x = p3(rate = 10, from = 0, to = 1) # model fossil occurrences
# apply trivial niche model
y = apply_niche(x, niche_def = trivial_niche, gc = trivial_gradient)
all(x == y) # true, no fossils were removed
#> [1] TRUE
