Start = 2 to set our starting stage class of interest to the ‘small’ In mpm1 is a ‘seed’ stage, which we might considerįunctionally-distinct from the ‘above-ground’ stages, we’ll specify Of life’ for the purposes of calculation. Which is used to specify the stage class that represents the ‘beginning One of the most common arguments among functions in Rage is start, The object mpm1 is a list containing two elements: the growth/survivalĬomponent of the MPM (the U matrix), and the sexual reproductionĬomponent (the F matrix).
