stan_occu: Fit the MacKenzie et al. (2002) Occupancy Model

Description

This function fits the single season occupancy model of MacKenzie et al. (2002).

Usage

stan_occu(
  formula,
  data,
  prior_intercept_state = logistic(0, 1),
  prior_coef_state = logistic(0, 1),
  prior_intercept_det = logistic(0, 1),
  prior_coef_det = logistic(0, 1),
  prior_sigma = gamma(1, 1),
  log_lik = TRUE,
  ...
)

Value

ubmsFitOccu object describing the model fit.

Arguments

formula

Double right-hand side formula describing covariates of detection and occupancy in that order

data

A unmarkedFrameOccu object

prior_intercept_state

Prior distribution for the intercept of the state (occupancy probability) model; see ?priors for options

prior_coef_state

Prior distribution for the regression coefficients of the state model

prior_intercept_det

Prior distribution for the intercept of the detection probability model

prior_coef_det

Prior distribution for the regression coefficients of the detection model

prior_sigma

Prior distribution on random effect standard deviations

log_lik

If TRUE, Stan will save pointwise log-likelihood values in the output. This can greatly increase the size of the model. If FALSE, the values are calculated post-hoc from the posteriors

...

Arguments passed to the stan call, such as number of chains chains or iterations iter
