elasticity3.lefkoMat: Estimate Elasticity of Population Growth Rate of a lefkoMat Object

Description

elasticity3.lefkoMat() returns the elasticities of population growth rate to elements of all $A matrices in an object of class lefkoMat. If deterministic, then $\lambda$ is taken as the population growth rate. If stochastic, then stochastic $\lambda$, or the stochastic growth rate, is taken as the population growth rate. This function can handle large and sparse matrices, and so can be used with large historical matrices, IPMs, age x stage matrices, as well as smaller ahistorical matrices.

Usage

# S3 method for lefkoMat
elasticity3(
  mats,
  stochastic = FALSE,
  steps = 10000,
  time_weights = NA,
  sparse = "auto",
  append_mats = FALSE,
  ...
)

Value

This function returns an object of class lefkoElas, which is a list with 8 elements. The first, h_elasmats, is a list of historical elasticity matrices (NULL if an ahMPM is used as input). The second, ah_elasmats, is a list of either ahistorical elasticity matrices if an ahMPM is used as input, or, if an hMPM is used as input, then the result is a list of elasticity matrices in which historical elasticities have been summed by the stage in occasions t and t+1 to produce historically-corrected elasticity matrices, which are equivalent in dimension to ahistorical elasticity matrices but reflect the effects of stage in occasion t-1. The third element, h_stages, is a data frame showing historical stage pairs (NULL if ahMPM used as input). The fourth element, agestages, shows age-stage combinations in the order used in age-by-stage MPMs, if suppled. The fifth element, ah_stages, is a data frame showing the order of ahistorical stages. The last 3 elements are the A, U, and F portions of the input.

Arguments

mats: An object of class lefkoMat.
stochastic: A logical value determining whether to conduct a deterministic (FALSE) or stochastic (TRUE) elasticity analysis. Defaults to FALSE.
steps: The number of occasions to project forward in stochastic simulation. Defaults to 10,000.
time_weights: Numeric vector denoting the probabilistic weightings of annual matrices. Defaults to equal weighting among occasions.
sparse: A text string indicating whether to use sparse matrix encoding ("yes") or dense matrix encoding ("no"). Defaults to "auto".
append_mats: A logical value indicating whether to include the original A, U, and F matrices in the output lefkoElas object.
...: Other parameters.

Notes

Deterministic elasticities are estimated as eqn. 9.72 in Caswell (2001, Matrix Population Models). Stochastic elasticities are estimated as eqn. 14.99 in Caswell (2001). Note that stochastic elasticities are of the stochastic $\lambda$, while stochastic sensitivities are with regard to the log of the stochastic $\lambda$.
