unmarked (version 0.8-5)

fitList: constructor of unmarkedFitList objects

Description

Organize nested models for model selection or model-averaged prediction.

Usage

fitList(..., fits)

Arguments

...

Fitted nested models. Preferrably named.

fits

An alternative way of providing the models. A (preferrably named) list of fitted models.

Examples

# Fit some N-mixture models
data(mallard)
mallardUMF <- unmarkedFramePCount(mallard.y, siteCovs = mallard.site,
obsCovs = mallard.obs)

fm1 <- pcount(~ ivel ~ length, mallardUMF)
fm2 <- pcount(~ ivel ~ 1, mallardUMF)
fm3 <- pcount(~ 1 ~ 1, mallardUMF)

## Two methods of creating an unmarkedFitList using fitList()

# Method 1
fmList <- fitList(Global=fm1, ivel.=fm2, Null=fm3)

# Method 2. Note that the arugment name "fits" must be included in call.
models <- list(Global=fm1, ivel.=fm2, Null=fm3)
fmList <- fitList(fits = models)


# Model-averaged prediction
predict(fmList, type="state")

# Model selection
modSel(fmList, nullmod="Null")
