Description

Compute reproductive value vector

Usage

1
  RepVal(A)

Arguments

A

projection matrix for population model x(t+1) = A x(t)

Details

The reproductive value of a stage/age class is the expected future contribution to population growth of an individual in that class. Mathematically, this corresponds to the right eigenvector of the dominant eigenvalue of A.

Examples

1
2
A = matrix(c(0,1,.5,0), nrow=2)
