I would like to build a model in R to simulate the seed dispersal by one plant.
The plant produced 5 seeds and the probability of falling inside the eight
closest space was 0.8 and in the next space 0.2 and in the rest space 0:
0
0
0
0
0
0
0.2
0.2
0.2
0.2
0.2
0
0.2
0.8
0.8
0.8
0.2
0
0.2
0.8

0.8
0.2

0.2
0.8
0.8
0.8
0.2

0.2

0.2

So I do not know how to program in R to choose these 5 places (randomly)
knowing the probability of event.
I have built a matrix that each value has assigned the probability of mortality
(0.7) except when there is a plant (1) so, the 5 seeds that felt in each place
around that plant would have to be multiplied by 0.7 and if the result was >1
then we would have a new individual for the next run.
0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
0.7 0.7 0.7 1 0.7 0.7
0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
I am trying to do loops but I am a beginner and I am very lost. Could anyone
say me what code should I use?
Thank you very much,
Judit Barroso
