Overview

About

Maintained by Allan Strand8 releasesCRAN page ↗

This package creates a individual-based population genetic simulation. Individuals have spatial coordinates, dispersal governed by mixtures of Weibull and normal pdfs. It is discrete-time. It can be arbitrarily complex given enough known or assumed demographic characteristics. Simulates diploid and haploid inheritance. Allows the development of null distributions of genotypes for complex demographic scenarios. This version includes some approximations for pollen (male gamete) dispersal.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/kernelPop/kernelPop_1.0.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "kernelPop_1.0.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
