mizer (version 2.3.0)

mizer-package: mizer: Multi-species size-based modelling in R

Description

The mizer package implements multi-species size-based modelling in R. It has been designed for modelling marine ecosystems.

Details

Using mizer is relatively simple. There are three main stages:

1. Setting the model parameters. This is done by creating an object of class '>MizerParams. This includes model parameters such as the life history parameters of each species, and the range of the size spectrum. There are several setup functions that help to create a MizerParams objects for particular types of models:

   • newCommunityParams()

   • newTraitParams()

   • newMultispeciesParams()

2. Running a simulation. This is done by calling the project() function with the model parameters. This produces an object of '>MizerSim that contains the results of the simulation.

3. Exploring results. After a simulation has been run, the results can be explored using a range of plotting_functions, summary_functions and indicator_functions.

See the mizer website for full details of the principles behind mizer and how the package can be used to perform size-based modelling.
