F.cjs.gof: F.cjs.gof

Description

Goodness of fit measures for a CJS open-population capture recapture model.

Usage

F.cjs.gof( cjsobj, resid.type="pearson", rule.of.thumb = 2, HL.breaks = "deciles" )

Arguments

cjsobj

A CJS capture-recapture fitted object from a previous call to F.cjs.estim

resid.type

Type of residual to return. resid.type = 'pearson' produces Pearson residuals. resid.type = 'deviance' produces deviance residuals. Anything other than 'deviance' gives you Pearson residuals.

rule.of.thumb

Rule of thumb to include a cell in one of the chi-square statistics. For example, if rule.of.thumb = 2, the expected count in a cell has to be greater than 2 in order for the cell to be included in the overall Chi-square statistic for that table. No pooling of cells is done. Cells with expected values less than rule.of.thumb are dropped.

HL.breaks

vector of bin break points to use in the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic. This must be a partition of the interval [0,1], with 0 as lowest break and 1 as max. E.g., if HL.breaks = c(.25,.75), the bins used are [0,.25),[.25,.75),[.75,1]. The default, "deciles", calculates breakpoints such that 10 values are in each. I.e., approximately 0.1 * n expected values are in each of 10 cells.

Value

gof.chi: Chi-square statistic for overall goodness of fit based on all "live" cells in the capture-recapture histories.
gof.df: Degrees of freedom for overall goodness of fit test.
gof.pvalue: P-value for overall goodness of fit.
or.table: Chi-square table for the Osius and Rojek correction to the overall GOF test (See p. 153 of Hosmer and Lemeshow (2000)).
or.chi: Chi-square statistic for the Osius and Rojek test.
or.df: Degrees of freedom for the Osius and Rojek test.
or.correction: Correction to the Osius and Rojek test. This is computed as number of unique expected values minus the sum of 1 over the individual cell counts.
or.rss: Root sum-of-squares for the Osius and Rojek test, obtained from weighted regression.
or.z: Osius and Rojek Z statistic. This is computed as (or.chi - or.df) / sqrt( or.correction + or.rss )
or.pvalue: 2-tailed Osius and Rojek p-value computed from standard normal distribution and the Osius and Rojek Z statistic.
t4.table: Chi-square table for Test 4, which sums observed and expected captures over individuals. This table has one cell for each occasion.
t4.chi: Chi-square statistic for Test 4, computed from t4.table by summing the chi-square contributions over cells that meet the rule.of.thumb.
t4.df: Degrees of freedom for Test 4. Equal to number of cells meeting rule.of.thumb minus 1.
t4.pvalue: P-value for Test 4 computed from Chi-squared distribution.
t5.table: Chi-square table for Test 5, which sums observed and expected captures over occasions. This table has one cell for each individual.
t5.chi: Chi-square statistic for Test 5, compute from t5.table by summing the chi-square contributions over cells that meet the rule.of.thumb.
t5.df: Degrees of freedom for Test 5. Equal to number of cells meeting rule.of.thumb minus 1.
t5.pvalue: P-value for Test 5 computed from Chi-squared distribution.
HL.table: Chi-square table for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
HL.chi: Chi-square statistic for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
HL.df: Degrees of freedom for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
HL.pvalue: P-value for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
roc: Area under the curve statistic for the ability of the "live" cell expected values to classify captures.

Details

The "overall" Chi-square test computes the sum of [(h(ij) - Psi(ij))*(h(ij) - Psi(ij))] / Psi(ij) over all "live" cells in the capture-recapture problem. "Live" cells are those following initial captures, prior to and including the occasion when an animal was censoring (died on capture and removed). If an animal was not censored, the "live" cells for it extend from occasion following initial capture to the end of the study. In the above, h(ij) is the 0-1 capture indicator for animal i at occasion j. Psi(ij) is the expected value of h(ij), and is computed as the produce of survival estimates from initial capture to occasion j, times probability of capture at occasion j. Assuming animal i was initially captured at the a-th occasion, Psi(ij) is computed as phi(ia) * phi(i(a+1)) * ... * phi(i(j-1)) * p(ij), where phi(ij) is the modeled estimate of survival for animal i from occasion j to occasion j+1, and p(ij) is the probability of capturing animal i during occasion j.

The other derived GOF tests computed here use h(ij) and its expected value Psi(ij). Test 4 sums observed and expected over individuals. Test 5 sums observed and expected over occasions. The other 3 tests were borrowed from logistic regression by viewing h(ij) as a binary response, and Psi(ij) as its expected value.
