reorganise_matrices: Reorganise Matrix Population Models

Description

This function reorganises a list of matrix population models, which are split into mat_A, mat_U, mat_F, and optionally mat_C sub-matrices. It prepares the matrices for easy conversion into a compadreDB object.

Usage

reorganise_matrices(matrix_list)

Value

A list containing four elements: mat_A, mat_U, mat_F, and mat_C. Each element is a list of matrices corresponding to the respective matrix type from the input. If mat_C

does not exist in a sub-list, it is replaced with an NA matrix of the same dimensions as mat_U.

Arguments

matrix_list

A list of lists, where each sub-list contains the matrices mat_A, mat_U, mat_F, and optionally mat_C.

Details

This function processes a list of matrix population models, extracting and grouping the sub-matrices (mat_A, mat_U, mat_F, and optionally mat_C) into separate lists. If a mat_C matrix is not present in a model, an NA matrix of the same size as mat_U is used as a placeholder.

  ),
  list(
    mat_A = matrix(5, 2, 2),
