vital_rate {cxr}R Documentation

Vital rate calculation

Description

Calculates vital rates from their effect sizes and terms. This is equivalent to predicting from a binomial glm with given coefficients. In this version, the user needs to ensure that 'param' and 'env' match, i.e. that if the 'param' list is defined with environmental forcing, it is passed here, and viceversa. In future versions I may implement checks for that here, but for now, be aware that it will fail.

Usage

vital_rate(vr, sp, site, param, env = NULL, densities)

Arguments

vr

integer or char, vital rate to obtain, from the ones defined in 'param'. So far, valid names are "Sj","Sn","Sr","Rn","Rr","D","Ds,"O".

sp

integer or char, species

site

intger or char, site

param

param nested list (see 'build_param')

env

optional numeric, environmental forcing

densities

densities of all sp in the site, including individuals from all three life stages

Value

numeric value
