The example replicates the Douglas-fir forest application for an industrial site class 3 in western Oregon from Hashida and Fenichel (2022). The demonstration data are provided in the `forest` dataset included in the `capn` package. ```{r example} ## Example (industrial classite 3) from Hashida and Fenichel (2022) data("forest") param <- forest$param simData <- forest$simData Aspace <- aproxdef(param$order,param$lowerK,param$upperK,param$delta) vCsplit <- vaprox.split(Aspace, simData$vol, simData$growth, simData$profit, param$crit.vol, param$margp, param$splittime) vsimsplit <- vsim(vCsplit, simData[,1]) ## harvest node and its time hnode <- min(which(simData$vol > param$crit.vol)) m <- hnode -1 ## plot data generation plotdata <- data.frame(stock = vsimsplit$stock[1:m], price = exp(-(simData$times[1:m]-simData$times[1])*param$delta)*vsimsplit$shadowp[1:m], vfun = exp(-(simData$times[1:m]-simData$times[1])*param$delta)*vsimsplit$vfun[1:m]) ## plot shadow (accounting) prices ## 3p of Figure 4 in Hashida and Fenichel (2022) plot(plotdata$stock,plotdata$price,type='l',col='blue', xlab = 'Forest Volume (MBF)', ylab = 'Shadow Price ($/MBF)') ## plot value function plot(plotdata$stock,plotdata$vfun,type='l', xlab = 'Forest Volume (MBF)', ylab = 'Value Function ($)') ```
