Suggested changes to the help file for occuRN to make it clearer. I know one postgrad who wasted a huge amount of time because he misunderstood it.
Main issue is notation, as the
w
matrix in Royle & Nichols (2003) this is the usual detection history,w[i,j] = 1
if the species is detected at sitei
in samplej
. In the help pagew[i,j]
indicates detection of an individual. In fact, since each individual (k
) would have a different value, this would have to bew[i,j,k]
. To make things worse, the actual detection matrix, for which you generally usey
, doesn't appear in the help page.I suggest taking out the reference to
w
, as we aren't interested in modelling detections of individuals, and include the model for the detection history.
