mstrata: Multistrata example data

Description

An example data set which appears to be simulated data that accompanies MARK as an example analysis using the Multistrata model.

Format

A data frame with 255 observations on the following 2 variables.

ch

a character vector containing the encounter history of each bird with strata

freq

the number of birds with that capture history

Details

This is a data set that accompanies program MARK as an example for the Multistrata model and is also in the RMark pacakge. Here I use it to show the 3 ways models can be fitted to multistrata data. The model MSCJS is not run because it requires ADMB or the exe constructed from ADMB which is not available if downloaded from CRAN.

Examples

# \donttest{
data(mstrata)
ms1=process.data(mstrata,model="MSCJS",strata.labels=c("A","B","C"))
ms2=process.data(mstrata,model="hmmMSCJS",strata.labels=c("A","B","C"))
# strata.labels for MVMS models must be specified as a list because more than one variable
# can be used
ms3=process.data(mstrata,model="MVMSCJS",strata.labels=list(state=c("A","B","C")))
ms1.ddl=make.design.data(ms1)
ms2.ddl=make.design.data(ms2)
ms3.ddl=make.design.data(ms3)
ms3.ddl$delta$fix=1
# following requires ADMB or the exe constructed from ADMB and links set for ADMB
