example2: Missouri Dickcissel Nest Survival Data - Date Format

In BEANSP: Bayesian Estimate of Age-specific Nest Survival Probabilities

Description

The Missouri dickcissel dataset collected by Suedkamp Wells(2005) is analyzed via BEANSP for illustration. For more detailed analysis, see Cao et.al(2009).

Usage

data(example2)

Format

the date of the last visit (after the outcome)

.

fate

Nest fate; if "F", y=0; if "S", y=1.

cov1
