combinePredsAcrossModels: Combine predictors across models

Description

Create a table of factor combinations of predictors in given searcher efficiency and carcass persistence models. This is a utility function called by estgGeneric and governs the cells for which detection probabilities are calculated.

Usage

combinePredsAcrossModels(preds_CP, preds_SE, data_CP, data_SE)

Value

Data frame with columns for each predictor in preds and rows for each factor level combination among the predictors. In addition there are column with CellNames, CellNames_CP, and

CellNames_SE, which are the combinations of predictor levels for all predictors, CP predictors, and SE predictors (respectively), separated by periods ( . ).

Arguments

preds_CP

Character vector with names of carcass persistence predictors.

preds_SE

Character vector with names of searcher efficiency predictors.

data_CP

data frame with columns for each predictor and rows corresponding to carcasses in the field trials.

data_SE

data frame with columns for each predictor and rows corresponding to carcasses in the field trials.
