p.o2o: Prob goes from outside strip to outside strip

In david-borchers/LCE_paper: Latent Capture History estimation package

Description

Returns the transition probability from outside strip to outside strip. Starting coordinate outside strip is assumed to be a uniform random variable on (w,w+dmax), where w is half-width of strip, dmax is maximum distance from strip to consider, and cooridnate zero is centre of strip. Position after movement is assumed to be normal with mean equal to starting coordinate and standared deviation sigma.

Deals only with positive initial coordinate as problem is symmetric about zero. Integrates CDF of normal distribution only outside strip, from initial coordinate w to w+dmax. Integration is done by trapezoid rule.

Usage

p.o2o(sigma, dmax, w, nx = 500)

Arguments

sigma	standard deviation of nomal location distribution
dmax	maximum distance can move
w	half-width of strip
nx	number of intervals to use for approximate integral.

Examples

w = 1
sigma = 0.1
dmax = 5*sigma
p.o2o(sigma,dmax=dmax,w)
