Stochastic growth rate sensitivity

Description

Calculates the sensitivity of the stochastic growth rate to perturbations in the mean demographic projection matrix

Usage

stoch.sens(A, tlimit = 100)

Arguments

A

a list of matrices

tlimit

time limit, default 100

Details

Function copied from demogR package after it was removed from CRAN. See section 14.4.1 in Caswell 2001.

Value
