Integral Projection Models
Description
Flexibly implements Integral Projection Models using a
mathematical(ish) syntax. This package will not help with the vital rate
modeling process, but will help convert those regression models into an
IPM. 'ipmr' handles density dependence and environmental stochasticity, with a
couple of options for implementing the latter. In addition, provides functions
to avoid unintentional eviction of individuals from models. Additionally,
provides model diagnostic tools, plotting functionality,
stochastic/deterministic simulations, and analysis tools.
Integral projection models are described in depth by Easterling et al. (2000)
, Merow et al. (2013)
, Rees et al. (2014) ,
and Metcalf et al. (2015) .
Williams et al. (2012) discuss the problem of
unintentional eviction.
