Population Model Matrix Elements

Build population model matrix elements.

Usage

pop_model_matrix_elements(pop_mod_setup = NA)

Arguments

pop_mod_setup

List. Object returned from population_model_setup().

Value

a list object of symbolic objects.

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 JoeModelCE package.
library(JoeModelCE)

filename_lc <- system.file("extdata", "life_cycles.csv", package = "JoeModelCE")
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
