  Reproduction?'

abstract: 'Tests whether an episodic recruitment record can be the delayed consequence
  of a reproductive record, under any distributed lag. A delay is a convolution, and
  a convolution is a weighted average, so the concentration in time of expected recruitment
  can never exceed that of reproduction: reproduction''s own concentration is a ceiling.
  The package computes that ceiling by searching families of lag weights (pure delays,
  windows, geometric decay and Dirichlet draws), calibrates the pooled comparison
  against negative-binomial counts to show what it can and cannot refute, and runs
  the host-level (replicate-unit) test in which the null is the lag hypothesis exactly
  as it is asserted: expected recruitment on each unit is that unit''s own lagged
  reproduction, scaled to its own total. Uncertainty on the exceedance comes by three
  routes, a cluster bootstrap over units, a Bayesian bootstrap (Rubin 1981 <https://doi.org/10.1214/aos/1176345338>)
  and a negative-binomial model of the counts fitted with ''Stan'' through ''cmdstanr'';
  recruit_triage() asks whether a first sighting is a recruit or a plant returning
  from dormancy. Plotting functions draw the ceiling strip, the lag profiles against
  the observed counts, the calibration and a forest plot of the intervals. The census
  data on the epiphytic orchid Lepanthes eltoroensis analysed in the companion paper
  are included.'
