Demographic Resampling Function

Description

This resamples three specific data sets and calculates demographic statistics and bootstrapped confidence intervals.

Usage

DemoBoot(stagedat = NULL, fruitdat = NULL, seeddat = NULL, n = 1)

Arguments

stagedat A data frame identical in form to the data frame of the same name.
fruitdat A data frame identical in form to the data frame of the same name.
seeddat A data frame identical in form to the data frame of the same name.
n Number of bootstrap replicates.

Details

This somewhat idiosyncratic function requires that the data frames have particular structures matching the data sets included in this package.

Value

Returns a list of length n, where each element is the output of a demographic analysis (see DemoInfo).
