Posterior Summary of a Multi-scale Occupancy Model's Site-Occupancy Probabilities

Description

Estimates the posterior mean, median, and 95% credible limits for a multi-scale occupancy model's site-specific occurrence probabilities.

Usage

posteriorSummaryOfSiteOccupancy(fit, burnin = 1, mcError = FALSE)

Arguments

fit	object of class occModel that contains data and previous state of the model's Markov chain
burnin	initial no. iterations of Markov chain to be omitted from calculations
mcError	logical switch to estimate Monte Carlo standard errors

Details

This function estimates the posterior mean, median, and 95% credible limits of the site-specific occurrence probabilities of a multi-scale occupancy model.

Value

Computes estimates of summary statistics for a multi-scale occupancy model's site-occupancy probabilities. If mcError=TRUE, the Monte Carlo standard errors of these estimates are computed. All posterior summaries are returned in a list.

Examples

data(gobyDetectionData)
detections = occData(gobyDetectionData, "site", "sample")
data(gobySurveyData)
gobySurveyData = scaleData(gobySurveyData)  # center and scale numeric covariates

fit1 = occModel(formulaSite          = ~ veg,
                formulaSiteAndSample = ~ sal + twg,
                formulaReplicate     = ~ sal + fish,
                detectionMats        = detections,
                siteData             = gobySurveyData,
                niter                = 1100,
                niterInterval        = 100,
                siteColName = 'site',
                )

psi = posteriorSummaryOfSiteOccupancy(fit1, burnin=100)
plot(gobySurveyData[, 'turb'], psi$median)
