Maximum‐likelihood estimation of the geometric niche preemption model
Abstract The geometric series or niche preemption model is an elementary ecological model in biodiversity studies. The preemption parameter of this model is usually estimated by regression or iteratively by using May's equation. This article proposes a maximum‐likelihood estimator for the niche...
