InfDim (version 1.0)

InfDim-package: Infine-dimensional model (IDM) to analyse phenotypic variation in growth trajectories.

Description

This package contains functions to perform calculations of the infine-dimensional model (IDM) and to produce confidence intervals around the model elements via bootstrapping.

The package contains two mains functions, IDM and IDM.bootCI. The former calculates IDM elements based on data on ages at which growth trajectory has been evaluated and covariances of the sizes at ages. The latter functions requires raw growth data as an input and, in addition to IDM elements, produces CIs around them via bootstrap sampling.
