By default, mizer models any number of size-resolved consumer species and a single size-resolved resource spectrum. Your model may require additional components, like for example detritus or carrion or multiple resources or .... This function allows you to set up such components.
Usage
setComponent(
params,
component,
initial_value,
dynamics_fun,
encounter_fun,
mort_fun,
component_params
)
removeComponent(params, component)Arguments
- params
A MizerParams object
- component
Name of the component
- initial_value
Initial value of the component
- dynamics_fun
Name of function to calculate value at the next time step
- encounter_fun
Name of function to calculate contribution to encounter rate. Optional.
- mort_fun
Name of function to calculate contribution to the mortality rate. Optional.
- component_params
Object holding the parameters needed by the component functions. This could for example be a named list of parameters. Optional.
Details
The component can be a number, a vector, an array, a list, or any other data structure you like.
If you set a component with a new name, the new component will be added
to the existing components. If you set a component with an existing name,
that component will be overwritten. You can remove a component with
removeComponent().
