Evaluate a spatially explicit capture--recapture model. That is, compute the `real' parameters corresponding to the `beta' parameters of a fitted model for arbitrary levels of any variables in the linear predictor.
# S3 method for ipsecr
predict(object, newdata = NULL, type = c("response", "link"),
se.fit = TRUE, alpha = 0.05, savenew = FALSE, ...)When se.fit = FALSE, a dataframe identical to newdata except for the addition of one column for each `real' parameter. Otherwise, a list with one component for each row in newdata. Each component is a dataframe with one row for each `real' parameter (density, g0, sigma, b) and columns as below
| link | link function |
| estimate | estimate of real parameter |
| SE.estimate | standard error of the estimate |
| lcl | lower 100(1--alpha)% confidence limit |
| ucl | upper 100(1--alpha)% confidence limit |
When newdata has only one row, the structure of the list is
`dissolved' and the return value is one data frame.
For detectpar, a list with the estimated values of detection
parameters (e.g., g0 and sigma if detectfn = "halfnormal"). In the case
of multi-session data the result is a list of lists (one list per
session).
ipsecr object output from ipsecr.fit
optional dataframe of values at which to evaluate model
character; type of prediction required. The default ("response") provides estimates of the `real' parameters.
logical for whether output should include SE and confidence intervals
alpha level for confidence intervals
logical for whether newdata should be saved
other arguments passed to newdata
The variables in the various linear predictors are described in
secr-models.pdf and listed for the particular model in the
vars component of object.
Optional newdata should be a dataframe with a column for each of
the variables in the model (see `vars' component of object). If
newdata is missing then a dataframe is constructed automatically.
Default newdata are for a naive animal on the first occasion;
numeric covariates are set to zero and factor covariates to their base
(first) level. The argument `all.levels' may be passed
to newdata; if TRUE then the default newdata includes
all factor levels.
realnames may be used to select a subset of parameters.
Standard errors for parameters on the response (real) scale are by the delta method (Lebreton et al. 1992), and confidence intervals are backtransformed from the link scale.
The value of newdata is optionally saved as an attribute.
