pkLogLik: Calculate the negative log-likelihood of a searcher efficiency model

Description

The function used to calculate the negative-loglikelihood of a given searcher efficiency model (pkm) with a given data set

Usage

pkLogLik(
  misses,
  foundOn,
  beta,
  nbeta_p,
  cellByCarc,
  maxmisses,
  cellMM,
  kFixed = NULL
)

Value

Negative log likelihood of the observations, given the parameters.

Arguments

misses

Number of searches when carcass was present but not found.

foundOn

Search on which carcass was found.

beta

Parameters to be optimized.

nbeta_p

Number of parameters associated with p.

cellByCarc

Which cell each observation belongs to.

maxmisses

Maximum possible number of misses for a carcass.

cellMM

Combined pk model matrix.

kFixed

Value of k if fixed.
