Calculate initial population abundances

Source: R/get_initial_n.R
get_initial_n.Rd

This function uses the model parameters and other parameters to calculate initial values for the species number densities. These initial abundances are currently quite arbitrary and not close to the steady state. We intend to improve this in the future.

Usage

get_initial_n(params, n0_mult = NULL, a = 0.35)

Arguments

params

The model parameters. An object of type MizerParams.

n0_mult

Multiplier for the abundance at size 0 when using defaults edition 1. If not supplied, kappa / 1000 is used. This argument is ignored for defaults edition 2 and later.

a

A parameter with a default value of 0.35.

Value

An ArraySpeciesBySize object (species x size) of population abundances.

Examples

init_n <- get_initial_n(NS_params)
