Elasticity and Sensitivity of the Vital rates
(1)
This workflow calculates the Elasticity and Sensitivity of population growth rate with respect to various vital rates. The goal in both cases is to determine which vital rates has/ve the most influence on population growth rate (?).
Elasticity and Sensitivity: Sensitivity and elasticity analyses are prospective analyses.
a) The sensitivity matrix: The sensitivity describes the effect on ? of changes in vital rates of the matrix. The derivative tells what would happened to ? if aij was to c...
