mizer (version 2.5.3)

project: Project size spectrum forward in time

Description

Runs the size spectrum model simulation. The function returns an object of type MizerSim that can then be explored with a range of summary_functions, indicator_functions and plotting_functions.

Usage

project(
  object,
  effort,
  t_max = 100,
  dt = 0.1,
  t_save = 1,
  t_start = 0,
  initial_n,
  initial_n_pp,
  append = TRUE,
  progress_bar = TRUE,
  ...
)

Value

An object of class MizerSim.

Arguments

object

Either a MizerParams object or a MizerSim object (which contains a MizerParams object).

effort

The effort of each fishing gear through time. See notes below.

t_max

The number of years the projection runs for. The default value is 100. This argument is ignored if an array is used for the effort argument. See notes below.

dt

Time step of the solver. The default value is 0.1.

t_save

The frequency with which the output is stored. The default value is 1. This argument is ignored if an array is used for the effort argument. See notes below.

t_start

The the year of the start of the simulation. The simulation will cover the period from t_start to t_start + t_max. Defaults to 0. Ignored if an array is used for the effort argument or a MizerSim for the object argument.

initial_n

The initial abundances of species. Instead of using this argument you should set initialN(params) to the desired value.

initial_n_pp

The initial abundances of resource. Instead of using this argument you should set initialNResource(params) to the desired value.

append

A boolean that determines whether the new simulation results are appended to the previous ones. Only relevant if object is a MizerSim object. Default = TRUE.

progress_bar

Either a boolean value to determine whether a progress bar should be shown in the console, or a shiny Progress object to implement a progress bar in a shiny app.

...

Other arguments will be passed to rate functions.

Examples

# \donttest{
params <-  NS_params
# With constant fishing effort for all gears for 20 time steps
sim <- project(params, t_max = 20, effort = 0.5)
# With constant fishing effort which is different for each gear
effort <- c(Industrial = 0, Pelagic = 1, Beam = 0.5, Otter = 0.5)
sim <- project(params, t_max = 20, effort = effort)
# With fishing effort that varies through time for each gear
gear_names <- c("Industrial","Pelagic","Beam","Otter")
times <- seq(from = 1, to = 10, by = 1)
effort_array <- array(NA, dim = c(length(times), length(gear_names)),
    dimnames = list(time = times, gear = gear_names))
effort_array[,"Industrial"] <- 0.5
effort_array[,"Pelagic"] <- seq(from = 1, to = 2, length = length(times))
effort_array[,"Beam"] <- seq(from = 1, to = 0, length = length(times))
effort_array[,"Otter"] <- seq(from = 1, to = 0.5, length = length(times))
sim <- project(params, effort = effort_array)
# }
