FD 1.0-9 now on CRAN and R-Forge
This new version corrects a bug reported by Sarah Berke that prevented sing.sp from being calculated correctly in dbFD().
FD 1.0-7 and maxent.test()
The new version 1.0-7 is now available on R-Forge. Additions are maxent.test() which implements the permutation tests of Shipley (2010; Ecology) for maximum entropy (maxent) models. This makes it easy to now test a model generated by maxent().
maxent() now 10x faster
I've tweaked Bill Shipley's FORTRAN routine to speed up maxent() substantially. It's about 10 times faster than the previous version, which used only R code for the while loop, which was the real bottleneck in terms of speed. Comments welcome!
maxent() added
The maximum entropy (maxent) model of trait-based community assembly proposed by Bill Shipley is now on FD. Thanks to Dr Shipley for contributing his R code.
Source code now on R-Forge
I've added the FD package version 1.0-1 today on R-Forge.
gowdis() and dbFD() now much faster
Version 1.0-1 brings compiled C code to gowdis(), making it MUCH faster. Because dbFD() relies on gowdis(), it should be faster as well.
