bootstrap.p.with.hmm: Detection probability bootstrap with availability HMM.

In DistanceDevelopment/hsltm: Line transect estimation with hidden state availability models

Description

Nonparametric bootstrap of detection data with re-estimation of detection probabilities. If fixed.avail=FALSE, does nonparametric resampling of availability HMM parameters contained in hmm.pars.bs for every resample of detection data.

Usage

bootstrap.p.with.hmm(dat, pars, hfun, models, survey.pars, hmm.pars.bs,
  control.fit, control.opt, fixed.avail = FALSE, B = 999,
  silent = FALSE)

Arguments

dat	detection data frame constructed by removing all rows with no detections from a data frame of the sort passed to est.hmltm.
pars	starting parameter values, as for est.hmltm.
hfun	detection hazard function name; same as argument FUN of est.hmltm.
models	detection hazard covariate models, as for est.hmltm.
survey.pars	survey parameters, as for est.hmltm.
hmm.pars.bs	multiple sets of availability hmm parameters, as output by hmmpars.boot.
control.fit	list controlling fit, as for est.hmltm.
control.opt	list controlling function optim, as for est.hmltm.
fixed.avail	if TRUE, hmm.pars is treated as fixed, else element $Et is parametrically resampled.
B	number of bootstrap replicates.
silent	argument of function try, controlling error message reporting.

Details

The rows of data frame dat are resampled with replacement to create new data frames with as many detections as were in dat. If fixed.avail=TRUE, then a new set of availability HMM parameters is obtainded by sampling iwth replacement from hmm.pars.bs.

Function est.hmltm is called to estimate detection probabilities and related things for every bootstrap resample.

Value

A list with the following elements:

• callist: input reflection: everything passed to the function, bundled into a list

• bs: a list containing (a) a Bxn matrix $phats in which each row is the estimated detection probabilities for each of the n bootstrapped detections, (b) a Bxn matrix $pars in which each row is the estimated detection hazard parameters, and (c) the following vectors of length B with estimates from each bootstrap: $Et (mean times available and unavailable), $p0 (mean estimated p(0) over all detections), $phat (mean estimated detection probability over all detections), $convergence convergence diagnostic from optim.
