StablePopulation: Calculates Alpha for a Stable Population

Provides tools to calculate the alpha parameter of the Weibull distribution, given beta and the age-specific fertility of a species, so that the population remains stable and stationary. Methods are inspired by "Survival profiles from linear models versus Weibull models: Estimating stable and stationary population structures for Pleistocene large mammals" (Martín-González et al. 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jasrep.2019.03.031>.
