Description
simpops.mac is a free script written by Daniel Barker and Richard Sibly. simpops.mac uses the theta-logistic model of population regulation to simulate observed population time series, with environmental perturbation and measurement error.
simpops.mac is a Minitab macro and requires Minitab statistical software to run. We have used it under Minitab version 14.20 for Windows.
Open simpops.mac in a text editor (e.g. Notepad). Read and follow the instructions given in a long comment at the top of the script.
The current version is simpops.mac 1.0.
