Package 'luckieR'

Description

Calculates the distribution of lifetime reproductive output (LRO) the presence of environmental variation. Assumes a pre-breeding census (reproductiion happens before survival and growth).

Usage

calcDistLRO(Plist, Flist, Q, c0, maxClutchSize, maxLRO, Fdist = "Poisson")

Arguments

Details

Called by probTraitCondLRO.

It is also possible to calculate the distribution of LRO by cross-classifying states by stage and number of offspring produced so far and calculating the state distribution at death. If s(z') is the survival probability for cross-classified state z', M(z', z) is the probability of transitioning from cross-classified state z to cross-classified state z', and N is the fundamental matrix for M: N = (I - M)^{-1}, then the state distribution at death, conditional on starting in state z, is (1 - s(z')) * N(z', z), where * denotes a Hadamard product (element-by-element multiplication, not matrix multiplication). (See, e.g., eq. 3.2.8 in Data-driven Modeling of Structured Populations: A Practical Guide to the Integral Projection Model, by Stephen P. Ellner, Dylan Z. Childs and Mark Rees, ed. 1, 2015.) However, this implicitly assumes that reproduction happens after survival and growth, i.e. a post-breeding census.

maxLRO = 30
out = calcDistLROPostBreedingNoEnv (Pmat, Fmat, c0, maxClutchSize,
  maxLRO)

Description

If adults in a population can produce multiple types of offspring, then life can start in multiple states. Therefore, calculations of population-level mean, variance, and skewness in lifespan or lifetime reproductive output must take into account this variation in starting states. We often call this the "mixing distribution" and a reasonable standard mixing distribution is the distribution of offspring types in a cohort produced when the population is at its stable population distribution.

Usage

calcDistOffspringCohort(Amat, Fmat)

Arguments

Value

A vector of length $n$ that contains the proportion of individuals in each of the $n$ states in a cohort of offspring

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
Fmat<- matrix(c(0.2, 0, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 5, 3, 0), ncol=3)
Amat<- Umat+Fmat
mixdist<- calcDistOffspringCohort(Amat, Fmat)

Description

Given a transition matrix and appropriate reward matrices, calculates the mean, the 2nd and 3rd moments (both central and non-central), and the skewness of some quantity (a "reward") over the stochastic trajectories generated by the transition matrix. If the reward matrices are for reproductive output, then this code calculates moments of lifetime reproductive output.

Usage

calcMoments(Umat, R1, R2, R3)

Arguments

Value

A list containing

• rho1Vec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the expected lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j (NB: for the first moment of a distribution, both the non-central and the central moment are equivalent to the expectation)

• rho2Vec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the non-central 2nd moment of lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j

• rho3Vec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the non-central 3rd moment of lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j

• mu2Vec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the central 2nd moment (variance) of lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j

• mu3Vec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the central 3rd moment of lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j

• skewnessVec: A 1xn matrix whose jth entry gives the skewness (3rd central moment / variance^3/2) of lifetime reward for a trajectory starting in state j

##  from state j to state i
Umat = matrix (0.1, 3, 3)

maxLRO = 30
out = distLifespanCondR2PostBreedingNoEnv (Pmat, Fmat, c0, maxClutchSize,
  maxLRO, maxAge)

Description

Calculates the probability of breeding at least once, and the mean and variance of age at first breeding conditional on breeding, as a function of initial state. In order to use this function, the model specification must include state-dependent breeding probability, not just state-dependent mean fecundity. The probability of breeding at least once from now until death must be positive for all states. If not, remove those states from the model (can't start in any of them, going into them becomes death) and apply this function to the remaining states.

Usage

firstBreed(M0, pb)

Arguments

Details

In the luckieR package, we also provide the probRepro() function, which can be used in scenarios where the distribution of probability of breeding is not known. Instead, probRepro infers the probability of breeding by assuming that the mean fecundity (provided in Fmat) is the mean of a Poisson, Bernoulli, or fixed reproductive process.

Assumptions and coding follow Ellner et al. (2016) IPM monograph, chapter 3. The state transition matrix Umat is assumed to have the form Umat = p_b M_b + (1-p_b) M_0 to allow for costs of reproduction, but M_b and M_0 can be equal if there are no costs. Breeding does not necessarily imply producing any new recruits, for example clutch size conditional on breeding could be Poisson.

Value

A list of:

• p_breed A vector of length $s$ containing the probability of breeding before death, given the starting state.

• mean_age A vector of length $s$ containing the mean age of first reproduction, given the starting state.

• var_age A vector of length $s$ containing the variance of age of first reproduction, given the starting state.

See Also

probRepro() if you do not have values for pb, Rage::mature_age() which computes the mean age at first entering a state with positive mean fecundity.

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
pb<- c(0, 0.1, 0.4) # probability of breeding in the next time step, given current state

Arguments

Details

if there are n sizes/stages, states 1–n are those sizes with LRO = 0 at the start of the time step (just after last year's survival and growth (and environment) updates. States n+1–2n are those sizes with LRO = 0 just after this year's fecundity update but before survival, growth (and environment) updates. States 2n+1–3n are those sizes with LRO = 1 at the start of the time step, and so on through LRO = maxLRO. To advance the state by one time step, it is necessary to multiply by ACondSucceed twice (once to update fecundity, then another time to update survival, growth, and, if necessary, the environment.

Fmat = matrix (0, 3, 3); Fmat[1,] = 0:2
out = makePDef3 (P, Fmat)

Description

Calculates the mean lifespan for individuals starting in state $j$, conditional on them reaching state $i$ before death. This calculation is based on Equation 6 in Cochran and Ellner (1992).

Usage

meanConditionalLifespan(Umat)

Arguments

Value

An $n \times n$ matrix where the $(i,j)$ element represents the remaining expected lifespan of individuals starting in state $j$, conditional on them reaching state $i$ before death, with NA if the transition from j to i is not possible.

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
meanCondLifespan<- meanConditionalLifespan(Umat)

Description

Based on Equation 9 from Cochran and Ellner (1992), this function will calculate the expected time for an individual to transition from a starting state $j$ to an arrival state $i$, conditional on arriving in state $i$.

Usage

meanConditionalTimes(Umat)

Arguments

Value

An $n \times n$ matrix where the $(i,j)$ element represents the conditional mean time to reach i from j, with NA if the transition from j to i is not possible.

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
meanCondTimes<- meanConditionalTimes(Umat)

Description

Calculates the expected value of lifespan across individuals in a population whose dynamics can be described a matrix population model. The survival and transition rates among stages must be provided in the Umat. The default behavior is to return the expected remaining lifespan for individuals starting in all states of the population. This function also allows the user to provide a "mixing distribution" of starting states. Note that in the Markov Chain with Rewards framework, moments of lifespan are a special case of moments of LRO, where individuals accrue fixed rewards of 1 for each timestep that they survive.

Usage

meanLifespan(Umat, mixdist = NULL)

Arguments

Value

Value(s) of expected remaining lifespan in terms of number of model timesteps. If mixdist=NULL, then meanLifespan returns a vector containing the expected remaining lifespan for individuals starting in each of the $n$ states. If a mixing distribution is provided, then meanLifespan returns a single value, calculated as a weighted average over the offspring starting states.

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
expectedVal<- meanLifespan(Umat)

# A standard choice for the mixing distribution is the distribution of
# offspring types in a cohort produced by the population at its stable
# distribution.
Fmat<- matrix(c(0.2, 0, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 5, 3, 0), ncol=3)
Amat<- Umat+Fmat
mixdist<- calcDistOffspringCohort(Amat, Fmat)
expectedVal<- meanLifespan(Umat, mixdist=mixdist)

Description

Calculates the expected value of lifetime reproductive output, or lifetime reproductive success, across individuals in a population whose dynamics can be described a matrix population model. The survival and transition rates among stages must be provided in the Umat and the mean per capita reproductive output (per time step of the population model) must be provided in the Fmat. The default behavior is to return the expected value of LRO for individuals starting in all states of the population. This function also allows the user to provide a "mixing distribution" of starting states, and/or to provide offspring weights such that offspring of different types contribute differently to reproductive success.

Usage

meanLRO(Umat, Fmat, mixdist = NULL, offspring_weight = NULL)

Arguments

Value

Value(s) of expected lifetime reproductive output. If mixdist=NULL, then meanLRO returns a vector containing the expected future LRO for individuals starting in each of the $n$ states. If a mixing distribution is provided, then meanLRO returns a single value, calculated as a weighted average of the offspring starting states.

Arguments

Details

Called by makeAxT

Value

Description

Calculates the skewness of lifespan across individuals in a population whose dynamics can be described a matrix population model. The survival and transition rates among stages must be provided in the Umat. The default behavior is to return the skewness of remaining lifespan for individuals starting in all states of the population. This function also allows the user to provide a "mixing distribution" of starting states. Note that in the Markov Chain with Rewards framework, moments of lifespan are a special case of moments of LRO, where individuals accrue fixed rewards of 1 for each timestep that they survive.

Usage

skewLifespan(Umat, mixdist = NULL)

Arguments

Value

Value(s) of skewness in remaining lifespan. If mixdist=NULL, then skewLifespan returns a vector containing the skewness in remaining lifespan for individuals starting in each of the $n$ states. If a mixing distribution is provided, then skewLifespan returns a single value of skewness in remaining lifespan, calculated over the starting states according to the law of total cumulance.

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
skewness<- skewLifespan(Umat)

# A standard choice for the mixing distribution is the distribution of
# offspring types in a cohort produced by the population at its stable
# distribution.
Fmat<- matrix(c(0.2, 0, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 5, 3, 0), ncol=3)
Amat<- Umat+Fmat
mixdist<- calcDistOffspringCohort(Amat, Fmat)
skewness<- skewLifespan(Umat, mixdist=mixdist)

Description

Calculates the skew of lifetime reproductive output, or lifetime reproductive success, across individuals in a population whose dynamics can be described a matrix population model. The survival and transition rates among stages must be provided in the Umat and the mean per capita reproductive output (per time step of the population model) must be provided in the Fmat. The default behavior is to assume Poisson-distributed annual reproduction among individuals in a given stage class. The default is to return the skewness of LRO for individuals starting in all states of the population. This function also allows the user to provide a "mixing distribution" of starting states, and/or to provide offspring weights such that offspring of different types contribute differently to reproductive success.

Usage

skewLRO(
  Umat,
  Fmat,
  repro_var = "poisson",
  mixdist = NULL,
  offspring_weight = NULL
)

Arguments

Value

Value(s) of skewness in lifetime reproductive output. If mixdist=NULL, then skewLRO returns a vector containing the skewness in future LRO for individuals starting in each of the $n$ states. If a mixing distribution is provided, then skewLRO returns a single value of skewness, calculated over the offspring starting states using the law of total cumulance

Examples

Umat<- matrix(c(0.5, 0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0, 0.8), ncol=3)
Fmat<- matrix(c(0.2, 0, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 5, 3, 0), ncol=3)

# A standard choice for the mixing distribution is the distribution of
# offspring types in a cohort produced by the population at its stable
# distribution.
Amat<- Umat+Fmat
mixdist<- calcDistOffspringCohort(Amat, Fmat)
skew_overall<- skewLRO(Umat, Fmat, repro_var='poisson', mixdist=mixdist)

# In Hernandez et al. 2024, we used the probability of surviving to reproduce
# to rescale reproductive rewards when individuals can produce multiple
# offspring types.
off_wts<- probRepro(Umat, Fmat, repro_var='poisson')
skewness<- skewLRO(Umat, Fmat, repro_var='poisson', offspring_weight=off_wts)

Description

The stable state distribution is the proportional distribution of the population across states (i.e., ages, stages, or sizes) when the population is growing at its asymptotically-constant equilibrium growth rate $\lambda$. The asymptotic population growth rate $\lambda$ is given by the eigenvalue with the largest real part. The stable state distribution is the right eigenvector that corresponds to $\lambda$, normalized to sum to 1.

Usage

Arguments

Value

A vector of length $n$ that contains the proportion of individuals in each of the $n$ states when the population is growing at its asymptotic population growth
