paleoAM is an R package for fitting models of abundance
to individual species from fossil assemblages, and simulating those
assemblages under various ecological and geological biases. It includes
functions for modeling abundance distributions over environmental
gradients, using kernel density estimation, as well as tools for
simulating communities that might be sampled at different positions
along a gradient, and how our recover of the community would vary under
different sedimentary histories and sampling approaches.
Users of paleoAM functions can fit models of abundance
to their data, and then simulate how time-averaging, bioturbation and
other mixing processes might change or obscure a given
paleoenvironmental signal that they infer from their ecological
data.
