A practical guide to ecological modelling - using R as
a simulation platform
Description
Figures, data sets and examples from the book "A
practical guide to ecological modelling - using R as a
simulation platform" by Karline Soetaert and Peter MJ
Herman (2009). Springer, 372 pp.
All figures from chapter x can
be generated by demo(chapx), where x = 1 to 11.
The R-scripts of the model examples discussed in the book
are in subdirectory "examples", ordered per chapter.
Solutions to model projects are in the same subdirectories.
