ovenbird

The data set contains observations (point counts) of 198 sites of the 
Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute.

<code>count</code>: integer, ovenbird counts per site.

<code>site, year</code>: numeric, site number and year of data collection.

<code>ecosite</code>: factor with 5 levels, 
ecological categorisation of the sites.

<code>uplow</code>: factor with 2 levels, ecological 
categorisation of the sites
(same es ecosite but levels are grouped into 
<code>upland</code> and <code>lowland</code>).

<code>dsucc, dalien, thd</code>: numeric, percentage of successional, 
alienating and total humab disturbance
based on interpreted 3 x 7 km photoplots centered on each site.

<code>long, lat</code>: numeric, public 
longitute/latitude coordinates of the sites.

Low level functions for implementing maximum likelihood
        estimating procedures for complex models using data cloning and
        Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods with support for
        JAGS, WinBUGS and OpenBUGS.  Parallel MCMC computation is
        supported and can result in considerable speed-up.
