lvsimdata.time: Prey-Predator (Lotka-Volterra) example in LV dataset

Description

The lvsimdata.time provides the time simulation data in LV dataset to simulate prey-predator (Lotka-Volterra) model. The original code was written by Joshua Abbott in MATLAB and Seong Do Yun adapted it to a package example. The prey-predator model is:

Prey (\(X\)): \( \dot{X} = rX \left( 1 - \frac{X}{K} \right) - aXY - \theta X \), and

Predator (\(Y\)): \( \dot{Y} = bXY - mY - \gamma Y \).

The parameters are given as: \(r = 0.025\): intrinsic growth rate for prey, \(K = 1\): carrying capacity for prey, \(a = 0.08\): predator-related mortality parameter for prey, \(b = 0.05\): predator/prey uptake parameter for predator, \(m = 0.01\): natural mortality for predator, \(\gamma = 0.005\): slope for linear predator harvest control rule, and \(\theta = 0.005\): slope for linear prey harvest control rule

The predator with no economic value (unharvested) is designed for the economic program as:

\( W = harv.prey(p.prey-c.prey/X)\theta X + harv.pred*(p.pred-c.pred/Y)\gamma Y\).

The paramters are: \(p.pred = 0\): price per unit harvest of predator, \(p.prey = 25\): price per unit harvest of prey, \(c.prey = 0.1 p_prey\): cost /per unit of prey effort in Schaefer model (really c/q with q=1), and \(c.pred = c_prey\): cost per unit of predator effort in Schaefer model (really c/q with q=1).
