The package R2ucare (Gimenez et al. 2018, 2022) provides the standard tests for CJS models from Burnham et al. (1987) along with tests for multi-state models as described by Pradel et al. (2005). This function is a wrapper for the tests relevant to openCR (see Details). Original papers and the vignette for R2ucare should be consulted for interpretation.
ucare.cjs(CH, tests = "all", by = NULL, verbose = TRUE, rounding = 3, ...)
A list of results, possibly nested by the grouping variable by. The verbose form includes both the overall result of each test and its breakdown into components (`details').
capthist object suitable for openCR
character vector with the names of specific tests (see Details) or `all'
character name of covariate in CH used to split rows of CH into separate groups
logical; if TRUE then additional details are tabulated
integer number of decimal places in output
other arguments passed to split.capthist if needed
The possible tests are ``test3sr", ``test3sm", ``test2ct", ``test2cl", and ``overall_CJS".
If CH is a multi-session object then it will first be collapsed to a single-session object with join as usual in openCR. If CH has an intervals attribute indicating that the data are from a robust design (some intervals zero) then it will first be collapsed to one secondary session per primary session, with a warning.
If by is specified it should point to a categorical variable (factor or character) in the covariates attribute of CH. Separate tests will be conducted for each group.
R2ucare was removed from CRAN in May 2022, but will return at some point. In the meantime, it may be necessary to install from GitHub with
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
