simulateIndividuals: Wrapper function SimulateIndividuals

Description

This function simulates individuals as an Individuals object.

Will simulate n individuals in receptors fields of a Landscape.

Usage

simulateIndividuals(objectL, n = 200, mintime = 1, maxtime, dob,
  life_duration, toxic_threshold)

Arguments

objectL

A Landscape object

n

Number of individuals to simulate

mintime

Start simulation time

maxtime

End simulation time

dob

A vector for the Date Of Birth of each individual between mintime and maxtime

life_duration

A vector for the life duration of each individual

toxic_threshold

A vector for the internal toxic threshold value leading to death for each individual

Value

A S4 Individuals-class object

Details

The Individuals object output includes for each individual the coordinates, the date of birth, the life duration, the toxic threshold and the internal toxic concentration.
