mizerMR (development version)

  • mizerMR now respects mizer’s second_order_w flag. When second-order bin-averaging is switched on, each resource’s carrying capacity and replenishment rate are built from the exact bin averages of their power laws over the resource’s size range (with the bins straddling w_min/w_max getting the partial average) rather than point-sampled at the left bin edge, and the initial resource inherits the bin-averaged capacity. newMRParams() gains a second_order_w argument that is passed through to mizer’s constructor. The default (first-order) behaviour is unchanged and the package still works against mizer versions without the second_order_w slot.

  • The resource accessors (getResourceMort(), initialNResource(), finalNResource() and NResource()) now return classed objects (MRArrayResourceBySize and MRArrayTimeByResourceBySize) that support print(), summary(), plot() and as.data.frame() methods, so you can do e.g. plot(getResourceMort(params)) or plot(NResource(sim)) with one coloured line per resource. This mirrors the corresponding classes added for the single resource in mizer. Requires mizer (>= 3.0.0.9002).

mizerMR 0.3.0

  • Compatible with mizer version 3.0.0
  • setMultipleResources() now uses mizer’s extension-chain methods for encounter and resource mortality instead of replacing entries in params@rates_funcs, allowing composition with other extension packages.
  • Accessors and plots that need multiple-resource behaviour are now registered as methods for mizer’s generics. plotlySpectra() has been removed.
  • The resource encounter rate is now computed with a single Fourier transform for all resources combined instead of one per resource, so the encounter cost no longer grows with the number of resources. A per-resource fallback is retained for models with a custom (non-Fourier) predation kernel.
  • scaleModel(), scaleRates(), setResource() and summary() now have multiple-resource methods. scaleModel() and scaleRates() rescale all resource capacities, abundances and rates consistently (previously scaleModel() errored); setResource() warns that it only affects the silenced built-in resource; and summary() reports the combined resource size range instead of the empty built-in resource.

mizerMR 0.0.3

mizerMR 0.0.2

  • setMultipleResources() now adds to the extensions field in params metadata.
  • plotDietMR() is a replacement for plotDiet() that works with multiple resources.
  • setMultipleResources()now sets the inital_n_ppslot to zero so that there are no spurious contributions to getDiet() for example.
  • The functions extracting information from MizerParams or MizerSim objects now all fall back onto core mizer functions when called with objects for which no multiple resources have been set up.
  • The resource params are now saved in the @other_params slot instead of the resource_params slot to avoid breaking core mizer code.

mizerMR 0.0.1

  • First functional version of package, ready for testing.
