Leslie Matrix Calculator
Leslie Matrices:
Leslie Matrices are used to model growth (and decline) of age-structured populations. In the model named after Patrick H. Leslie (1945), we have \(N\) age classes, and record how many individuals are in each. Each time period, individuals either age into the next class, or die. The survival rate describes the proportion that moves on to the next age class, and the birth rate, or fecundity, describes the rate per capita of births arising from each age category.
