extr

The goal of extr is to provide tools for estimating extinction probabilities and confidence intervals for stochastic population models.

Installation

install.packages("extr_1.0.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

# install.packages("remotes") # if needed
remotes::install_github("hakoyamah/extr")

Function

ext_di()

Estimates demographic parameters and extinction probability under a density-independent (drifted Wiener) model. From a time series of population sizes, it computes MLEs of growth rate and environmental variance, then evaluates extinction risk over a horizon \(t^{\ast}\). Confidence intervals are constructed by the \(w\)-\(z\) method, which achieve near-nominal coverage across the full parameter space.

Example

library(extr)
dat <- data.frame(
  Time = 1959:1987,
  Population = c(
    44, 47, 46, 44, 46, 45, 46, 40, 39, 39, 42, 44, 41, 40,
    33, 36, 34, 39, 35, 34, 38, 36, 37, 41, 39, 51, 47, 57, 47
  )
)
