elast: Estimate the elasticity of RS on age.

In ctross/SkewCalc: Estimation Of Reproductive Skew

Estimate the elasticity of RS on age.

Description

Estimate the elasticity of RS on age.

Usage

elast(r, t, t0 = 0)

Arguments

r	A vector of RS values.
t	A vector of ages at death or last census.
t0	A vector of ages at first census. Defaults to zero.

Value

MLE of the elasticity of RS on Age, using Poisson regression.

Examples

set.seed(1)
Age = rpois(100, 45)
RS = rep(NA,100)
for(i in 1:100) RS[i] = rpois(1, 5*Age[i]^0.75) 
elast(RS, Age)
