This function was never fully implemented and is now defunct: calling it signals an error.

It was intended to describe the probability of an agent successfully persisting until the next time step, as a SELES-like function maintaining conceptual backwards compatibility with SELES. The implementation it carried could not work – it assigned into sp::coordinates(agent), which errors on any Spatial* object whose coordinates are already set, i.e. all of them – so no caller can have depended on its behaviour.

There is no replacement. If you have a use for this, please contact the package maintainer; it can be implemented properly if there is interest.

Arguments

p
