Description Usage Arguments Details Value Methods (by generic) Slots See Also

The class KinPairSimulation is a formal (S4) class for storing kinship and dispersal distribution information derived from simulations in the kindisperse package. It is derived from the KinPairData class. The KinPairSimulation class is used to store information about the spatial distribution of kin dyads for use in calculating axial sigmas of intergenerational dispersal as initially implemented in Jasper et al. 2019 (doi: 10.1111/1755-0998.13043).

This class is essentially wrapped around the tbl_df class but with (a) expectations around certain columns that must be present (id1, id2, kinship, & distance - three 'character' & one 'numeric' column), as well as (b) additional attributes (kinship, lifestage, & cycle) characterizing the close-kin dyads being stored.These attributes, as well as the embedded vector of distances, can be accessed with the methods kinship, lifestage, breeding_cycle and distances. In addition to the above attributes (derived from the KinPairData class), this class contains attributes capturing the simulation type & parameters used to generate the final distribution of kin dyads.

Objects from this class are returned from the simulate_kindist_composite, simulate_kindist_simple and simulate_kindist_custom functions (& related), and are directly constructed with the namesake KinPairSimulation() function. They can be passed to the sample_kindist function for filtering and subsampling, and to axial functions (including axials_standard and axpermute_standard) for estimation of axial dispersal.
