Matrix Population Model analysis v12

Created: 2013-08-13 09:18:08      Last updated: 2014-07-09 12:32:27

The Matrix Population Models Workflow provides an environment to perform several analyses on a stage-matrix with no density dependence:

- Eigen analysis; - Age specific survival; - Generation time (T); - Net reproductive rate (Ro); - Transient Dynamics; - Bootstrap of observed census transitions (Confidence intervals of lambda); - Survival curve; - Keyfitz delta; - Cohen's cumulative distance.

This workflow requires an instance of Rserve on localhost

This workflow has been created by the Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVeL http://www.biovel.eu/) project. BioVeL is funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Program, grant no. 283359.

This workflow uses R packages ‘popbio’ (Stubben & Milligan 2007; Stubben, Milligan & Nantel 2011) and 'popdemo' (Stott, Hodgson and Townley 2013).
