get_resid_rv: Average age-specific residual reproductive value

In johow/kinlab: Kinship and Reproduction in Historical Populations

Description

This function computes residual reproductive values based on estimated survival probabilites and age-specific fertiliy rates (see Wikipedia, 2015).

Usage

get_resid_rv(id, df_ped, evmat, evmat_bak, age = NULL)

Arguments

id	The individual IDs of females of interests
df_ped	A dataframe for genealogical relations providing the variables 'id', 'momid' and 'dadid'
evmat	Event matrix
evmat_bak	An event matrix
age	Age for which the residual reproductive value should be computed.

Value

The average number of offspring, which can be expected for individuals in id at age age.

Examples

## Not run: 
get_resid_rv(sample(df_ped$momid[df_ped$momid>0], 100), df_ped, age=30)

## End(Not run)
