2.8 Fecundity

The model can be extended in several directions. If you have measured some variable mi related to the fecundity of each plant, you can enter an extra term $m_i^\beta$ predicting the pollen production of each plant i when calculating the contribution between all plants in the population. The program will then estimate the unknown parameter $\beta$. Inclusion of the fecundity term $m_i^\beta$ is turned off with the nofecundity command.
