randomsequence: random dominance interaction sequence

In gobbios/EloRating: Animal Dominance Hierarchies by Elo Rating

random dominance interaction sequence

Description

create a random dominance sequence for testing or simulations

Usage

randomsequence(
  nID = 10,
  avgIA = 20,
  startdate = as.Date("2000-01-01"),
  alphabet = TRUE,
  reversals = 0.1,
  ties = NULL,
  presence = NULL
)

Arguments

nID	integer, number of IDs, must be less than 2601
avgIA	numeric, average number of interactions an individual is involved in
startdate	character, a start date, by default "2000-01-01"
alphabet	logical, should the individual within an interaction that comes first in alphabetical order be the winner? By default TRUE, which gives some orderliness in the hierarchy
reversals	numeric, proportion of interactions that ends in reversed outcomes, i.e. the initial winner (if alphabet=TRUE) the first according to alphanumeric order) is changed into the loser. By default 0.1
ties	numeric, proportion of interactions that ends undecided
presence	numeric vector of length 2. The first value indicates what proportion of individuals are absent for some time. The second value indicates the proportion of time (days) these individuals are absent

Value

an object of class randomsequence, which is a list with the following items:

seqdat	an interaction sequence
pres	a presence matrix, actually a data.frame

Examples

IA <- randomsequence()
SEQ <- elo.seq(winner = IA$seqdat$winner, loser = IA$seqdat$loser, Date = IA$seqdat$Date,
               runcheck = FALSE, progressbar = FALSE)
stab_elo(SEQ)
#
IA <- randomsequence(presence = c(0.5, 0.5))
SEQ <- elo.seq(winner = IA$seqdat$winner, loser = IA$seqdat$loser, Date = IA$seqdat$Date,
               presence = IA$pres, runcheck = FALSE, progressbar = FALSE)
stab_elo(SEQ)
