read.inp: Import Data from RMark Input Format

In openCR: Open Population Capture-Recapture

Import Data from RMark Input Format

Description

read.inp forms a capthist object from a MARK input (.inp) file.

Usage

read.inp(filename, ngroups = 1, grouplabel = 'group', grouplevels = NULL, 
    covnames = NULL, skip = 0)

Arguments

filename	character file name including ‘.inp’.
ngroups	integer number of group columns in input
grouplabel	character
grouplevels	vector with length equal to number of groups
covnames	character vector of additional covariates names, one per covariate column
skip	integer number of lines to skip at start of file

Details

Comments bracketed with ‘/*' and '*/’ will be removed automatically.

If grouplevels is specified then ngroups is taken from the number of levels (ngroups is overridden). An individual covariate is output, named according to grouplabel. The order of levels in grouplevels should match the order of the group frequency columns in the input. This also determines the ordering of levels in the resulting covariate.

Value

A single-session capthist object with no traps attribute.
