summary(object, d = 1, ...)

Arguments

object

A leslie matrix from leslie().

d

Time step. By default it is 1. Only affects \(r\).

...

Ignored.

Details

The function calculates \(\lambda\), \(r\), \(w\) and \(v\).

• \(\lambda\) – asymptotic growth factor that is dominant eigenvalue.

• \(r\) – asymptotic growth rate that is \(ln \lambda / \delta t\).

• \(w\) – stable age distribution normalized to 1 s.t. \(\sum_x^{\omega} w_x = 1\) where \(x\) is age.

• \(v\) – reproductive values normalized s.t. \(v'w = 1\).
