obs: Observation matrix function

In conservation-decisions/smsPOMDP: POMDP problem solver: When to stop managing or surveying cryptic threatened species ?

Description

Computes the observation matrix for each action : manage, survey and stop. State 1 : extant, state 2 : extinct. Observation 1 : seen, observation 2 : not seen.

Usage

obs(p0, pm, d0, dm, ds, V, Cm, Cs)

Arguments

p0	Local probability of persitance : P(extant/extant, survey or stop).
pm	Local probability of persitance if manage : P(extant/extant, manage).
d0	Local probability of detection : P(present/extant, stop).
dm	Local probability of detection : P(present/extant, manage).
ds	Local probability of detection if survey : P(present/extant, survey).
V	Estimated economic value of the species ($/yr).
Cm	Estimated cost of managing ($/yr).
Cs	Estimated cost of survey ($/yr).

Value

Array, dimensions = [2,2,3], one matrix of dimensions 2,2 per action (manage, survey, stop, in that order). For each matrix : rows = states, cols = observations
