logical: should simulated populations that decline to zero
be omitted from the summary?
Value
A matrix in which the rows correspond to simulation years (0,...,nyears) and
the columns are summary variables:
MeanNmean number of adults
SENSE for # adults
MeanNNonbrmean # of nonbreeders
MeanBrFmean # of breeding females
SEBrFSE for # of breeding females
MeanBrMmean # of breeding males
SEBrMSE for # of breeding males
MeanNFoundmean # of founders (starters and supplemental
individuals) remaining
MeanNMigrmean # of immigrants present
MeanAgemean age of breeding adults (those that are actually
paired that year)
P.extantprobability that the population is extant (proportion of
simulations in which the population does not become extinct)
P.xLCLlower bound of the confidence interval for P.extant
P.xUCLupper bound of the confidence interval for P.extant
P.retainprobability that the rare allele is present in the
population
P.LCLlower bound of the confidence interval for P.retain
P.UCLupper bound of the confidence interval for P.retain
A.Freqfrequency of the rare allele in the simulated population (in adults or in all individuals, as per GeneCount argument in aRetain)
A.SEstandard error for A.Freq
