buildClassTable: Convert capture counts to table of capture classes

In mwpennell/capwire: Estimates population size from non-invasive sampling

Convert capture counts to table of capture classes

Description

Converts a vector of capture counts into a two-column matrix consisting of all capture classes and the individuals associated with each class.

Usage

buildClassTable(counts)

Arguments

counts

a vector of capture count data

Value

A two-column matrix with the first column specifiying the capture class (where all individuals in class i were caught i times) and the second column specifying the number of individuals in this capture class.

The data can be used as the data argument for any of the model-fitting functions implemented in capwire
