Get energy rate available for growth through time

Calculates the energy rate \(g_i(w)\) (grams/year) available by species and size for growth after metabolism, movement and reproduction have been accounted for.

Usage

getEGrowthTime(object, n, n_pp, n_other, time_range, drop = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object

A MizerParams object or a MizerSim object

n

A matrix of species abundances (species x size).

n_pp

A vector of the resource abundance by size

n_other

A list of abundances for other dynamical components of the ecosystem

time_range

A numeric or character vector of times. Only the range of values matters, so all saved times between min(time_range) and max(time_range) are selected.

drop

If drop = TRUE then the dimension of length 1 will be removed from the returned array.

...

Unused

Value

If a MizerParams object is passed in, the function returns a two dimensional array (predator species x predator size) based on the abundances also passed in. If a MizerSim object is passed in, the function returns a three dimensional array (time step x predator species x predator size) with the energy for growth calculated at every time step in the simulation. If drop = TRUE then the dimension of length 1 will be removed from the returned array.
