Create a list of initial values for matrices used to define a compartmental model in TMB.
Arguments
- ...
Named objects that can be coerced to numerical matrices.
- .mats_to_save
Character vector naming matrices to be saved at each set in the simulation so that some calculations can make use of past value (e.g. delayed effects) and/or to be able to retrieved the simulation history after the simulation is complete.
- .mats_to_return
Character vector naming matrices to be returned after the simulate is complete.
- .dimnames
Named list of
dimnames
for matrices that change their dimensions over the simulation steps. These names correspond to the names of the matrices. The output of the simulations will try their best to honor these names, but if the shape of the matrix is too inconsistent with thedimnames
then numerical indices will be used instead. For matrices that do not change their dimensions, setdimnames
by addingdimnames
to the matrices passed to...
.- .structure_labels
An optional object for obtaining labels of elements of special vectors and matrices. Such an object can be found in the
$labels
field of aCompartmental
model. Note that this is an advanced technique.
Value
Object of class MatsList
with the following methods.
Methods
$data_arg()
: Return the following components of the data structure to pass to C++.mats
-- Unnamed list of numeric matrices.mats_save_hist
-- Boolean vector identifying which matrices should have their history saved.mats_return
-- Boolean vector identifying which matrices should be returned after a simulation.
$mat_dims()
: Return a data frame giving the numbers of rows and columns of each matrix in the list.$add_mats(...)
: Add matrices to the list and return a new regeneratedMatsList
object.
