computeMPLElambda

Double right-hand side formula describing covariates of
        detection and occupancy in that order.

formula

An <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/unmarkedFrameOccu?package=unmarked&version=0.11-0" data-mini-rdoc="unmarked::unmarkedFrameOccu">unmarkedFrameOccu</a></code> object

data

Vector of sites that are known to be occupied. These
    should be supplied as row numbers of the y matrix, eg, c(3,8) if
    sites 3 and 8 were known to be occupied a priori.

knownOcc

starts

Optimization method used by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/optim?package=unmarked&version=0.11-0" data-mini-rdoc="unmarked::optim">optim</a></code>.

method

Either "C" or "R" to use fast C++ code or native R
      code during the optimization.

engine

Additional arguments to optim, such as lower and upper
      bounds

This function computes the weight for the MPLE penalty of Moreno & Lele (2010). 

models

Fits hierarchical models of animal abundance and occurrence to data collected using survey methods such as point counts, site occupancy sampling, distance sampling, removal sampling, and double observer sampling. Parameters governing the state and observation processes can be modeled as functions of covariates.
