Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

rt_runGridTestSpread goes back to more hat-trick like density dependence. runs a simple spatial popn simulation as a test of phase 2 model components. Concentrates on movement parameters and mortality so that it can be used to test popn spread under different popn growth rates.

`nCol`	number grid columns
`nRow`	number grid rows
`pMoveF`	probability of F moving between cells
`pMoveM`	probability of M moving between cells
`iDays`	days to run simulation
`iMaxAge`	max age of fly allowed in model (will warn if flies age past this)
`iCarryCapF`	carrying capacity of adult females
`fMperF`	numbers of males per female, default 0.5 for half as many M as F
`fStartPopPropCC`	starting population as a proportion of carrying capacity, default = 1 option "sameAsAdults" to set tot pupae same as tot adults.
`pMortF`	adult female mortality on day1, rates on later days are determined by following parameters.
`pMortM`	adult male mortality on day1, rates on later days are determined by following parameters.
`iMortMinAgeStart`	Age at which min death rates start.
`iMortMinAgeStop`	Age at which min death rates stop.
`fMortMinProp`	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the minimum death rate.
`fMortOldProp`	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the death rate after iDeathMinAgeStop.
`propMortAdultDD`	proportion of adult mortality that is density dependent
`pMortPupa`	pupal mortality per period
`propMortPupaDD`	proportion of pupal mortality that is density dependent
`iPupDurF`	days it takes pupa(F) to develop
`iPupDurM`	days it takes pupa(M) to develop
`iFirstLarva`	Age that female produces first larva
`iInterLarva`	Inter-larval period
`pMortLarva`	larval mortality per period
`propMortLarvaDD`	proportion of larval mortality that is density dependent
`report`	filename for a report for this run, if not specified no report is produced

a multi-dimensional array [day,y,x,sex,ages]
