Model Selection: Population Dynamics of Killer Whales

Description

This function generates Figure 9.3 and table 9.1 by fitting a density independent, a logistic, and a beverton-holt model to the southern resident killer whale population counts. This illustrates the estimation of population parameters assuming "process" error, and the calculation of AIC and delta AIC

Usage

whaleModelSelect(viewcode = FALSE)

Arguments

viewcode

TRUE or FALSE (default) indicating whether to print the function code #'

Value

a matrix containing negative log likelihood, AIC, and delta AIC for each model

Examples

# generate plot in Fig 9.3 and get table 9.1 returned
AIC.table <- whale_model_select()
print(AIC.table)
#view  commands
whale_model_select(viewcode = TRUE)
