Example capture-recapture data from a study of European dippers.
1 |
A data frame containing 294 capture histories and the sex designation of birds captured. Capture indicators are either 0 = not captured, 1 = captured, or 2 = captured but died and not released back into the population. Columns in the data frame are:
h1
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 1
h2
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 2
h3
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 3
h4
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 4
h5
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 5
h6
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 6
h7
a numeric vector indicating capture at occasion 7
males
a numeric vector indicating males. 1 = males, 0 = females
females
a numeric vector indicating females. 0 = males, 1 = females
This is a popular capture-recapture example data set. It has been analyzed by Lebreton et al. (1992) Amstrup et al. (2005) and others.
dipper.males
is a vector indicating male birds. I.e., dipper.males <- dipper.data\$males
dipper.histories
is a matrix of just the capture history columns h1 - h7
, extracted
from dipper.data
and made into a matrix. This matrix can be fed directly into
one of the estimation routines, such as F.cjs.estim
.
To access: After loading the MRA library (with library(mra)
) you must
execute data(dipper.data)
, data(dipper.data)
, or data(dipper.males)
to get access to these data frames. They are not attached when the library is loaded.
