SECR Models Fitted to Demonstration Data

Description

Objects of class secr formed by

secrdemo.0 <- secr.fit (captdata)

secrdemo.b <- secr.fit (captdata, model = list(g0 = ~b))

secrdemo.CL <- secr.fit (captdata, CL = TRUE)

where captdata is a capthist object using the demonstration data (files 'trap.txt','capt.txt') from program Density 4.1 (Efford 2007).

Usage

data(secrdemo)

Details

The raw data are 235 fictional captures of 76 animals in 100 single-catch traps over 5 occasions. The fitted models use a halfnormal detection function and the likelihood for multi-catch traps (expect estimates of g0 to be biased because of trap saturation Efford et al. 2009). The first is a null model (i.e. parameters constant) and the second fits a learned trap response.
