A delay is a convolution, and a convolution is\na weighted average, so the concentration in time of expected\nrecruitment can never exceed that of reproduction:\nreproduction's own concentration is a ceiling. The package\ncomputes that ceiling by searching families of lag weights\n(pure delays, windows, geometric decay and Dirichlet draws),\ncalibrates the pooled comparison against negative-binomial\ncounts to show what it can and cannot refute, and runs the\nhost-level (replicate-unit) test in which the null is the lag\nhypothesis exactly as it is asserted: expected recruitment on\neach unit is that unit's own lagged reproduction, scaled to its\nown total. Uncertainty on the exceedance comes by three routes,\na cluster bootstrap over units, a Bayesian bootstrap (Rubin\n1981 ) and a negative-binomial\nmodel of the counts fitted with 'Stan' through 'cmdstanr';\nrecruit_triage() asks whether a first sighting is a recruit or\na plant returning from dormancy. Plotting functions draw the\nceiling strip, the lag profiles against the observed counts,\nthe calibration and a forest plot of the intervals. The census\ndata on the epiphytic orchid Lepanthes eltoroensis analysed in\nthe companion paper are included.", "License": "MIT + file LICENSE", "Encoding": "UTF-8", "Language": "en-GB", "LazyData": "true", "VignetteBuilder": "knitr", "Additional_repositories": "https://stan-dev.r-universe.dev", "Config/testthat/edition": "3", "URL": "https://github.com/RaymondLTremblay/recruitlag", "BugReports": "https://github.com/RaymondLTremblay/recruitlag/issues", "Config/roxygen2/version": "8.1.0", "NeedsCompilation": "no", "Packaged": { "Date": "2026-10-15 20:48:15 UTC", "User": "root" }, "Author": "Raymond L.
