Population Model Matrix Elements
pop_model_matrix_elements.Rd
Build population model matrix elements.
Details
This is an intermediate setup function to run the population, but some of its outputs are useful on their own, especially for eigen analyses. pop_model_matrix_elements() is run after pop_model_setup() but must be run before Projection_DD(). Key outputs to explore include a density independent projection matrix, life histories and a symbolic representation of the matrix math for density dependent and density independent components.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
# Load the CEMPRA package.
library(CEMPRA)
filename_lc <- system.file("extdata", "life_cycles.csv", package = "CEMPRA")
life_cycles <- read.csv(filename_lc)
# Setup objects for population model
pop_mod_setup <- pop_model_setup(life_cycles = life_cycles)
# Build matrix elements for population model
pop_mod_mat <- pop_model_matrix_elements(pop_mod_setup = pop_mod_setup)
names(pop_mod_mat)
# A density independent projection matrix
pop_mod_mat$projection_matrix
