pbd_durspec_mean function

Mean duration of speciation under protracted birth-death model of diversification

pbd_durspec_mean computes the mean duration of speciation under the protracted speciation model for a given set of parameters

pbd_durspec_mean(
    pars
)

Arguments

• pars: Vector of parameters:

  pars[1] corresponds to b (= la_3 in Etienne & Rosindell R2012) = speciation initiation rate

  pars[2] corresponds to la_1 (= la_2 in Etienne & Rosindell 2012) = speciation completion rate

  pars[3] corresponds to mu_2 (= mu_i in ER2012) = extinction rate of incipient species

Returns

The expected duration of speciation
