Statistical analyses and Integral Projection Models

In this repository, we provide the full code to replicate our analyses. We parametarized our IPM using experimental data.

Part I: Statistical model

The statistical models were run in stan via R using the rstan packages. This is done by runing the R/MainScript.R script.

Part II: Integral Projection Models (IPM) using Julia

We used IPM to estimate the demographic effects of species removal in Trinidadian streams. If you want to run this models using the new and amazing programing lenguage, Julia, you can run the Julia/MainScript.jl file. For a detail explanation of the construction of the IPM models you can read the 🎈 Notebook_full_analyses.jl — Pluto.jl.pdf

Part III: Integral Projection Models (IPM) using R

At first, we run the IPM models in R using the R/MainScript.R, but it takes approximatly three days to run. In Julia, it takes less than five hours.
