IPMpack-package

IPMpack


IPM package, a series of analytical tools for building, diagnosing, and projecting populations models based on continuous and descrete vital rates.

 package

IPMpack takes demographic vital rates and (optionally) environmental data to build integral projection models.  A number of functional forms for growth and survival can be incorporated, as well as a range of reproductive strategies.  The package also includes a suite of diagnostic routines, provides classic matrix model output (e.g., lambda, elasticities, sensitivities), and produces post-hoc metrics (e.g., passage time and life expectancy).
