simProbData: Simulate Dirichlet-based probability table data

Description

Simulate Dirichlet-based probability table data

Usage

simProbData(
  psi,
  originRelAbund,
  sampleSize,
  shapes,
  captured = "target",
  requireEveryOrigin = FALSE
)

Value

simProbData returns a list with the elements:

originAssignment

Vector with true origin site of each animal

targetAssignment

Vector with true target site of each animal

genProbs

Table of assignment site probabilities for each animal

input

List containing the inputs to function

Arguments

psi

Transition probabilities between B origin sites and W target sites. B by W matrix

originRelAbund

Vector of relative abundances at B origin sites

sampleSize

Either the total number of data points to simulate or a vector with the number at each target or origin site. If only the total is provided, sampling will be done in proportion to abundance

shapes

If captured == "target", a B by B matrix, each row of which is the shape parameters for the Dirichlet distribution of an animal whose true origin assignment is that row's. If captured == "origin", a W by W matrix, each row of which is the shape parameters for the Dirichlet distribution of an animal whose true target assignment is that row's.

captured

Either "target" (the default) or "origin", indicating which side animal data were collected on

requireEveryOrigin

If TRUE, the function will throw an error if it looks like at least one origin site has no animals released in or migrating to it, or if it can, keep simulating until representation is met. This helps estTransition or estMC not throw an error. Default FALSE
