HogDeer

Description

Example camera trapping data set containing camera encounters of hog deer (Axis porcinus).

Usage

HogDeer

Format

A list consisting of 3 elements

sites

A data.frame containing information for each camera, including the first day (sday) and last day (eday) of operation for each camera

encounters

A data.frame containing columns day giving the day of encounter, distance, giving the distance bin numbers. Distance bins are numbered with 1 indicating an image in the 1st bin (i.e. 0 - 2.5 m) and 5 indicating an image in the 5th bin (i.e. 10 - 12.5m). These are converted to distances (i.e. distance to the midpoint of each bin in meters) automatically by eFrameDS. Group size of the encounter is given in count and cam gives the camera ID. stay gives the estimate of residence time (staying time in seconds) and censor is an variable indicating a fully observed (censor = 1) or right censored (censor = 0) staying time.

cutpoints

A vector of the distance categories (bins) used.

Details

The dataset consists of distance sampling data from camera traps as well as data on residence times in front of the camera (staying time) for each encounter. Distance sampling data is used for estimating the effective sampling area of the camera viewshed using dist_func. The effective camera viewshed area and staying time data are required for use in the REST model. Distance bin numbers for images of hog deer were derived from markers placed in the camera viewshed at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 m from the camera. The right truncation distance was set at 12.5 m.
