Dear Iván,<br>
<br>
Depending on how variable the number of leaves of juveniles, you
either would want to include the number of leaves of juveniles as a
continuous state variable (but IPMpack does not include the
possibility yet to have more than 1 continuous state variable), or
have the number of juvenile leaves as 1 or more discrete stages next
to the continuous state variable palm height. Please have a look at
functions like makeDiscreteTrans for examples.<br>
<br>
best wishes,<br>
Eelke<br>

<div>I hope you're very well. I write you because I have some
questions about IPMpack.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will introduce you my project:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm studying the demography of a tropical palm in
Mexico, I have data of this specie for: Growth (in
centimeters), survival and fecundity, i've been running
this data from IPMpack and everything is OK.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now I want introduce a new measure of growth because this
specie has a very slow-growth when is an infant and it
hasn't a measurable lenght. I have data for: number of
leaves, and i thing it can explain me this growth when the
palm hasn't lenght, i.e. I want to construct a compound
Pmatrix with functions for growth and survival for number of
seeds (discrete stage) and with funtions for growth and
survival for lenght (continuous stage), the fecundity just
will be in the continuous stage.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been reviewing the IPMpack manual, but I
misunderstood so well how to do it in the same environment,
i.e. just with 1 env. (without covariables).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Someone have and idea to do this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, :)</div>
