GenerateSpawningProbs: Generate Spawning Probabilities

In npollesch/FishToxTranslator: The Fish Toxicity Translator

Description

This function can be used to simulate daily spawning probability for a population of iteroparous or semelparous spawners based on a limited number of reproductive variables.

Usage

GenerateSpawningProbs(
  repro_start,
  repro_end,
  spawns_max_season,
  spawn_int,
  nReps = 1e+05,
  matReturn = F
)

Arguments

repro_start	Onset of reproduction season in ordinal day (Jan 1 = 1 in non-leap year) [integer]
repro_end	End of reproduction season in ordinal day [integer]
spawns_max_season	Maximum number of spawns a female can have in a reproductive season [integer]
spawn_int	Spawning interval or days between spawning events [integer]
nReps	Number of individuals/reps used to generate simulation [integer]
matReturn	True or False controls if a matrix is output. Default is FALSE, TRUE is often used for visualization. [boolean]

Value

Daily spawning probability [vector]
Option: if(matReturn)=TRUE, output is a (nReps x (repro_end-repro_start)) binary matrix, where an entry of 1 in position i,j represents individual i spawning on day reproductive day j, useful for visualization

Note

For iteroparous spawners, provide repro_start, repro_end, spawns_max_season, and spawn_int.

For semelparous spawners, provide repro_start, repro_end, and set spawns_max_season=1
