Find suitable intrinsic growth rates

Usage

findr(
  alpha,
  k0,
  theta = 1,
  lambda0 = 0,
  interval = 0.01,
  sigma = 0.01,
  maxit = 1000
)

Arguments

alpha

Numeric matrix. n_species x n_species interaction matrix

k0

Numeric. Total carrying capacity for basal species combined

theta

Numeric. Shape parameter for a Dirichlet distribution that determines relative equilibrium densities of basal species

lambda0

Numeric. Initial lambda value for the exponential decay of equilibrium densities with trophic position

interval

Numeric. Increment of lambda value.

sigma

Numeric. Degree of noise added to equilibrium densities

maxit

Integer. Maximum number of iterations to find a suitable lambda
