Multi Year Time Stratified Bayesian Estimator
MYTSBE
is an R package for estimating juvenile salmonid abundances using capture-mark-recapture data collected at rotary screw traps. MYTSBE
contains two functions for formatting juvenile salmonid data (Chinook_Format()
and Steelhead_Format()
) into the appropriate capture-mark-recapture format needed for the MYTSBE
model. The package also contains three functions that run the same hierarchical Bayesian model but produce different life-stage and cohort summaries dependent on the species (MYTSBE_Cohort()
, MYTSBE_Cohort_Fry()
, and MYTSBE_Calendar()
).
To install MYTSBE
you can use Hadley Wickham's devtools
package. To install and load the devtools
package use:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
NOTE: To use devtools
, you may also have to download and install Rtools (although you shouldn't). The latest version on Rtools can be found at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
Once devtools
is successfully installed, use the following to install MYTSBE:
devtools::install_github("Boldemeyer/MYTSBE")
