negllik.xandy(b, xy, FUN, models = list(y = NULL, x = NULL), pm, Pi,
  delta, theta.f, theta.b, W, ymax, dy, nx = 100, groupfromy = NULL)

Arguments

b

likelihood function parameters.

xy

detections data, including x and y values for each detection, plus any covariates in model).

FUN

detection hazard function name.

models

model specification, as in est.hmltm.

pm

state-dependent Bernoulli parameters.

Pi

Markov model transition probability matrix.

delta

Markov model stationary distribution.

theta.f

REDUNDANT must = 0.

theta.b

REDUNDANT must = 90.

W

perpendicular truncation distance for fitting.

ymax

forward distance by which detection hazard has fallen to zero.

dy

Markov model distance step size.

nx

number of x-values to use in evaluating detection function.

groupfromy

a forward distance (y) below which all y's are grouped into a single interval in the likelihood function (i.e. exact y,s < groupfromy are combined into an interval rather than passed as exact distances).
