Net Detection Probability

Description

Compute spatially explicit net probability of detection for individual(s) at given coordinates.

Usage

pdot(X, traps, detectfn = 0, detectpar = list(g0 = 0.2, sigma = 20),
    noccasions = 5) 

Arguments

X coordinates
traps traps object
detectfn integer code for detection function q.v.
detectpar a list giving a value for each named parameter of detection function
noccasions number of intervals (occasions)

Details

The probability computed is p.(X) = 1 - (1 - prod(p_s(X,k))^S where the product is over the detectors in traps. The per-occasion detection function p_s is by default half-normal, and is assumed to not vary over the S occasions.

The calculation is not valid for single-catch traps because p.(X) is reduced by competition between animals.

Value

A vector of probabilities, one for each row in X.

  temptrap <- make.grid()
  ## per-session detection probability for an individual centred
  ## at a corner trap. By default, noccasions = 5.
  pdot (c(0,0), temptrap, detectpar = list(g0 = 0.2, sigma = 20))
