Kinds of quantity a mizer array can hold
Description
Mizer arrays record what kind of quantity their values are in their type
attribute, because some kinds need handling that the numbers alone do not
reveal:
"value"the default: a rate, an amount, anything that needs no
special handling.
"density"an amount per gram of body weight, like a number
density. Plotting a density against a length axis restates it per
centimetre, which changes the values and not just the axis.
"proportion"a fraction, like the feeding level. Plotted on a
linear y axis showing the whole of the interval from 0 to 1, so that the
value can be read against the scale it belongs to.
Usage
array_types
Format
A character vector of the three types.
Details
A "proportion" is not restricted to the interval from 0 to 1: the
critical feeding level and the resource level can both exceed 1, and their
plots show it. The type is a statement about what the number means, not a
bound that mizer enforces.
