This list contains the data required to fit the model in Vajas et al. (in prep.) for the Ardeche department. For anonymity reasons, the Management Units numbers have been randomized.

1	data("bagArdeche")

A list with the following elements:

Nua: Integer vector value corresponding to the length of the vector nmus: here, equal to 308
cull: Integer vector containing the hunting bag resulting from each day of hunting. For a given combination of management unit and year, all the hunting days correspond to a batch of successive values in this vector. integer[1:28573]
nhunters: Integer vector containing the number of hunters from each day of hunting. integer[1:28573]
mu: Integer vector giving the Management Unit ID for each hunting day in cull. Note that these IDs have been randomized. integer[1:28573]
idstart: Integer vector giving the index of the first hunting day in the batch for a given combination of management unit / year in cull. integer[1:308]
month: Integer vector giving the month number for each day of hunting in cull. numeric[1:28573]
nmus: Integer vector giving the number of hunting days in the batch of values in cull for each combination of management units and year. integer[1:308]
mug: Integer vector giving the ID of the combination of management units and year in each element of nmus. numeric[1:308]
type: Integer value vector of the type of territory associated with each management unit. numeric [1:28]
area: Numeric vector giving the area of the management units (hectares). numeric[1:28]
nmonths: Integer value. Number of months during a hunting season: 6.
ntypes: Integer value. Number of types of management units: 3.
