mean_matrix {exactLTRE}

Calculate the mean matrix

Description

Calculate the mean matrix from a list of matrices. In the mean matrix, each element of the matrix is the mean value at that indexed position, across all the provided matrices.

Usage

mean_matrix(Aobj)

Arguments

Aobj

A list of matrix population models, which must all have the same dimensions.

Value

A single population projection matrix, with the same dimensions as the provided ones, where all vital rate entries are the mean across all provided matrices at the respective matrix index.

Examples

A1<- matrix(data=c(0,0.8,0, 0,0,0.7, 5,0,0.2), nrow=3, ncol=3)
A2<- matrix(data=c(0,0.9,0, 0,0,0.5, 4,0,0.3), nrow=3, ncol=3)
A3<- matrix(data=c(0,0.4,0, 0,0,0.6, 6,0,0.25), nrow=3, ncol=3)
Amean<- mean_matrix(list(A1,A2,A3))
