Landscape.Parameters: MICRO: Generate Parameters for 'Landscape' Object

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

This function is a specific instantiation of a generic system to generate parameters for a chosen landscape. Any user-specified function can be written to generate parameters, as long as the return list is in the same format.

  aquaSD = 0.025, ...)

Arguments

nFeed

number of feeding sites

nAqua

number of aquatic habitats

pointGen

character to select spatial point pattern generation function

  • "poisson": pointsPoisson

  • "clustered": pointsClustered

  • "overdispersed": pointsOverdispersed

  • "lattice": pointsLattice

module

character

  • "emerge": initialize parameters for Emerge module of Aquatic Ecology

  • "EL4P": initialize parameters for EL4P module of Aquatic Ecology

modulePars

additional list of named parameters to be passed to Aquatic Ecology module specific parameter generating functions

  • Emerge: should be named list of parameters for makeLambda_MicroEmerge

  • EL4P: NULL

hazV

mean value for feeding site vegetation landing hazard (if 0 it is set to 0 for all sites)

hazW

mean value for feeding site outside wall landing hazard (if 0 it is set to 0 for all sites)

hazI

mean value for feeding site indoor wall landing hazard (if 0 it is set to 0 for all sites)

haz

mean value for aquatic habitat landing hazard (if 0 it is set to 0 for all sites)

searchFeed

vector of searchWt for feeding sites (if NULL initialize to Gamma(1,1) distribution)

searchAqua

vector of searchWt for aquatic habitats (if NULL initialize to Gamma(1,1) distribution)

enterP

vector of house entry probabilities or single numeric value for all sites (if NULL initialize to Beta(9,1) distribution)

xLim

x-axis bounds for simulated points

yLim

y-axis bounds for simulated points

aquaSD

standard deviation of aquatic habitat scatter around feeding sites

...

additional named arguments for pointGen()

Value

a named list of parameters
