Arguments

settings

Processed simulation settings. Must be a list containing at least the elements fit_to (character) and fit_value (positive numeric).

Throws an error with a descriptive message if fit_to is not one of the accepted options ("Weight", "Consumption", "Ration", "Ration_prey", "p_value") or if fit_value is not a positive number.
