Description:
Give this script a population matrix and an initial population vector. The script will then graph the population trajectory, both for each age/stage class and the population as a whole. It will also show the long term population growth rate the stable age distribution, the weighted reproductive value and the sensitivity and elasticity matrices and return the long term growth rate for future usage.
N.B. The non-graphical part of this script (i.e. the heavier math) was adapted from Brett Sandercock http://www.k-state.edu/bsanderc/demography/tools.htm
For more information on matrix models in general, see Caswell's book
on the topic.
