AlleleRetain (version 1.1)

indiv.summary: Summary of Individual Information

Description

Summarize information for individuals of each origin (starters, supplementals, locals, immigrants) simulated by aRetain. Must be run after aRetain is run with trackall = TRUE.

Usage

indiv.summary(adata, genlength, alpha=0.05)

Arguments

adata
list of output from aRetain
genlength
mean age of simulated individuals (breeding pairs only), as returned by census.summary (use the MeanAge value where it stabilizes after recovering from any founder age effects)
alpha
confidence level e.g. 0.05 for 95% intervals

Value

  • A matrix with 4 rows, one for each origin (starter, supplemental, local, immigrant) and the columns are summary variables:
  • ntotal number of individuals from each origin, summed within each replicate and then averaged across replicates
  • pbreedprobability of each individual breeding (proportion that bred)
  • pbreed.LCLlower confidence limit for pbreed
  • pbreed.UCLupper confidence limit for pbreed
  • YrsBredmean # years bred per individual (including those that never bred)
  • YrsBredBrmean # of years bred per individual (that bred at least once)
  • lifespanmean lifespan in the population
  • effectivegenmean # of individuals that bred each generation
