BetaDis function

Compute the Beta distribution of leaf zenith angle.

BetaDis(meu, neu)

Arguments

• meu: One of the parameters for Beta function.
• neu: One of the parameters for Beta function.

Returns

The Beta distribution of leaf zenith angle.

Examples

sDis<-BetaDis(1.616,2.188)
plot(c(4.5, 13.5, 22.5, 31.5, 40.5, 49.5, 58.5, 67.5, 76.5, 85.5), sDis, 
xlab=expression(Leaf~zenith~angle~~(""^"o")), ylab="Leaf area freqency")
