occuRN

Description

occuRN fits the occupancy/abundance model of Royle & Nichols (2003).

Usage

occuRN(lamformula, detformula, data, K, starts, method="BFGS", se=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

lamformula

formula for the latent abundance component.

detformula

formula for the detection component. Only site-level covariates are allowed for the detection component. This differs from the similar model in unmarked.

data

A eFrame object containing the response (either (0/1) or counts) and site-level covariates. see eFrame for how to format the required data. count data will get trunctated to (0/1) by occuRN().

K

Integer upper index of integration for abundance. This should be set high enough so that it does not affect the parameter estimates. Note that computation time will increase with K

starts

Initial values for parameters

method

Optimisation method

se

flag to return the standard error (hessian).

Value

a efit model object.

Examples

 counts<- san_nic_pre$counts
 emf <- eFrame(y=counts)
 mod <- occuRN(~1, ~1, data=emf)
 Nhat<- calcN(mod)
