rmetasim (version 3.1.14)

landscape.simulate: Run a simulation for a single landscape through time

Description

Simulate a Rmetasim landscape for a number of generations.

Usage

landscape.simulate(Rland,numit,seed=-1,compress=FALSE,adj.lambda=0, force=FALSE)

Arguments

Rland

the Rmetasim landscape object

numit

the number of generations/iterations to simulate, note that landscapes will not run past the rland$intparam$totalgens value

seed

The default value of seed uses the seed set in the calling environment. Any other value for seed uses 'set.seed()' to reset the random number generator. landscape.simulate uses the RNG selected by the calling environment.

compress

If true, landscape.simulate executes a survival and carrying capacity step before returning. In demographies with high reproductive potential, this can significantly reduce the size of R objects returned

adj.lambda

Tries to apply a correction to population growth that makes the observed growth rate more closely approximate that predicted from standard analysis eigensystem of the sum of the survival and reproduction Lefkovitch matrices

force

Tries to simulate a landscape even if it fails the 'is.landscape' test. Do not set to TRUE unless you reall know what you are doing

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  exampleland <- landscape.new.example()
  exampleland <- landscape.simulate(exampleland, 4)
  exampleland
  rm(exampleland)
# }
