Rpath
Package Rpath is an R/Rcpp implementation of the Ecopath (mass-balance) and Ecosim (dynamic simulation) methods for the modeling of food webs. The Rpath package includes sensitivity analysis tools, bioenergetics forcing, and the ability to
develop adaptive dynamic simulations with annual adjustment/feedback for use
in management strategy evaluations and similar analyses.
Installation
To install the package and build all of the vignettes locally
remotes::install_github("noaa-edab/Rpath",build_vignettes=TRUE)
If you experience issues installing the package using remotes or don't need the vignettes locally then please use this alternative
pak::pak("noaa-edab/Rpath")
