Set the encounter and predation scaling constant

Compute the species-specific encounterpred_scale value used to normalise the encounter and predation temperature response so that the resulting scalar varies between 0 and 1 within each species' thermal range.

Usage

setEncounterPredScale(params)

Arguments

params

A MizerParams object that has been prepared for therMizer, typically with upgradeTherParams().

Value

The modified params object with species_params(params)$encounterpred_scale filled in.

Examples

params <- suppressMessages(
  mizer::newMultispeciesParams(
    data.frame(species = c("sp1", "sp2"), w_inf = c(100, 1000),
               k_vb = c(0.3, 0.2), w_mat = c(10, 100),
               beta = c(100, 100), sigma = c(2, 2)),
    no_w = 16))
species_params(params)$temp_min <- c(-2, 5)
species_params(params)$temp_max <- c(12, 18)
params <- setEncounterPredScale(params)
species_params(params)$encounterpred_scale
