Dear Allstaters:
I have an estimate of the mean annual survival of a population. To
represent stochasticity in a demographic simulation I need to generate
random values for that survival estimate defined by its mean and SE. I
was planning on sampling from the Beta distribution, but have some doubts.
Given that survival can not exceed 1, is there a more appropriate
distribution?
Any and all assistance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
