Set class `spp` attributes to mirror MSOM output #87

Make it easy to directly compare the simulation results to the MSOM output

Dimensions to consider:

rBatt commented 8 years ago

Just like it only makes sense to get the probability of detection (p) from the "observation" part of the simulation, it really only makes sense to get the probability of occupancy (Psi) from the "process" (I should start calling this Nature's Data Generating Process, and obs the observation process) part of the simulation. Thus, I needn't worry about how to get Psi from obs.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how the hell to track p as a parameter in JAGS if some of those nodes are missing. At least not in a way that is reasonable.

I want to do the simulation differently to better emulate how MSOM does its calculations
