In carcass: Estimation of the Number of Fatalities from Carcass Searches

Carcass detection probability acording to Erickson et al. 2004

Description

Calculates carcass detection probability based on persistence time, searcher efficiency, search interval and duration of study.

Usage

perickson(t.bar=NULL, s, f, d)

Arguments

t.bar	mean carcass persistence time in days (or another time unit)
s	mean (e.g. daily) carcass persistence probability.
f	searcher efficiency: probability that a carcass present on the study plot is detected by a searcher during a seach.
d	search interval: time (in days) between two searches

Details

Time measurements (search interval and carcass persistence time or persistence probability) should be given in the same unit. Either t.bar or s has to be provided.

Value

a proportion: the probability that an animal that dies during the study period on the study plot is detected by a searcher
