build_param: Build param structure

In cxr: A Toolbox for Modelling Species Coexistence in R

Build param structure

Description

Builds a nested list for the parameters of a given metapopulation

Usage

build_param(sp, sites, rates, env, num.params = NULL)

Arguments

sp	character vector with species names
sites	character vector with site names
rates	character vector, vital rate names
env	boolean, whether environment is accounted for
num.params	optional, integer giving the number of parameters to account for. If not specified, it will include environment interactions with all species densities. E.g. if 3 sp and env = TRUE, there will be 7 params (intercept + 6 betas)

Value

nested list of the form 'list[[sp]][[site]]'. Each of these elements is a NA matrix with vital rates in rows and expected parameters in columns.

Examples

sp <- c("s1","s2","s3")
sites <- c("sa","sb")
rates <- c("Sj","Sn","Sr","Rn","Rr","D","O")
env <- TRUE
param <- build_param(sp = sp,sites = sites,rates = rates,env = env)
