Princeton University Press. [Chapter 9 has several examples
that use this data.]Details
This is a popular capture-recapture example data set. It has been analyzed by Lebreton et al. (1992)
Amstrup et al. (2005) and others.
dipper.males is a vector indicating male birds. I.e., dipper.males <- dipper.data$males
dipper.histories is a matrix of just the capture history columns h1 - h7, extracted
from dipper.data and made into a matrix. This matrix can be fed directly into
one of the estimation routines, such as F.cjs.estim.
To access: After loading the MRA library (with library(mra)) you must
execute data(dipper.data), data(dipper.data), or data(dipper.males)
to get access to these data frames. They are not attached when the library is loaded.
