File Entry: Transient dynamics documentation

This documentation (tutorial to run the workflow) explains how to run a workflow that belongs to the pack with same name.

The Transient dynamics or Calculate population growth rates by projection Workflow provides an environment to calculates the population growth rate and stable stage distribution by repeated projections of the equation n(t+1)=An(t) and to produce plots of the short-term dynamics and convergence to stable stage distribution using stage vector projections.

1. Transient dynamic analysis

• Population projection

• Lambda or dominant eigenvalue

• The stable stage distribution (stable.stage)

• Stage vector (stage.vectors)

• Population sizes (pop.sizes)

• Population change (pop.changes)

   2. Damping ratio
