fundamental.matrix: Fundamental matrix and age-specific survival
Description
Age-specific survival calculations from stage-classified matrices. Includes
the mean, variance and coefficient of variation (cv) of the time spent in
each stage class and the mean and variance of the time to death
Usage
fundamental.matrix(A, ...)
Value
A list with 5 items
N
fundamental matrix or mean of the time spent in each stage class
var
variance of the time spent in each stage class
cv
coefficient of variation (sd/mean)
meaneta
mean of time to death
vareta
variance of time to death
Arguments
A
projection matrix
...
additional items are passed to splitA and are
used to split A into T and F matrices
