init.population: Initialize Organism Population

In byandell/ewing: Ewing's Quantitative Population Ethology

Initialize Organism Population

Description

Create data structure with n organisms distributed across life stages. Includes leftist tree structure

Usage

init.population(
  community,
  species,
  n = 200,
  width = 100,
  units = getOrgFeature(community, species, "units"),
  timeit = FALSE,
  reject = Inf,
  position = rtri(n, width),
  colnames = c(leftistnames, paramnames, posnames, eventnames),
  init.stage = istage,
  init.weight = getOrgFuture(community, species, "init"),
  messages = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

community	community structure
species	species name(s) as character string vector
n	number of organisms in population
width	maximum width of dispersal on tridiagonal coordinate system
units	time units (default is getOrgFeature(community,species,"units"))
timeit	print timing information if TRUE
reject	rejection time (default is Inf)
position	initial positions in triangular coordinate system (generated randomly)
colnames	names of columns in data structure (do not change)
init.stage	initial stage of all organisms (default values generated randomly)
init.weight	initial weights for life stages (default taken for organism features)
...	not used

Details

Does various initializations based in information in future.xxx, where xxx is replaced by the name of the dataset. Normally, init.population is called by init.simulation.

Value

comp1	Description of ‘comp1’
comp2	Description of ‘comp2’
