stoch.sens: Stochastic growth rate sensitivity

In popbio: Construction and Analysis of Matrix Population Models

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

A list with two elements:

sensitivities	sensitivities of the stochastic growth rate
elasticities	elasticities of the stochastic growth rate
