R: Calculate posterior capture and recapture probabilities

getprobsClosed

R Documentation

Calculate posterior capture and recapture probabilities

Description

This function calculates posterior capture (p) and recapture (c) probabilities for each sampling occasion from multimarkClosed output.

Usage

getprobsClosed(out, link = "logit")

Arguments

`out`	List of output returned by `multimarkClosed`.
`link`	Link function for detection probability. Must be "`logit`" or "`probit`". Note that `multimarkClosed` is currently implemented for the logit link only.

Value

An object of class mcmc.list containing the following:

`p`	Posterior samples for capture probability (p) for each sampling occasion.
`c`	Posterior samples for recapture probability (c) for each sampling occasion.

Examples


# This example is excluded from testing to reduce package check time
# Example uses unrealistically low values for nchain, iter, and burnin

#Run behavior model for bobcat data with constant detection probability (i.e., mod.p=~c)
bobcat.c <- multimarkClosed(bobcat,mod.p=~c)
  
#Calculate capture and recapture probabilities
pc <- getprobsClosed(bobcat.c)
summary(pc)
