nestAbund.sim {nestAbund2}R Documentation

simulates data and runs nestAbund model

Description

This function is used to simulate and analyze nest abund. data, for a given model

Usage

nestAbund.sim(
  ncpu = 1,
  nsims = 1,
  C = 500,
  phi_int = 5,
  phi_cattle = 0,
  phi_stage = 0,
  phi_robel = 0,
  p_int = -1,
  p_cattle = 0,
  p_stage = 0,
  p_robel = 0,
  pi_cattle = 0.5,
  m_rob = 1.8,
  s_rob = 1,
  m_a1 = 0,
  s_a1 = 5,
  modl = "Phi()P()GAU"
)

ncpu

(1) number of cpu cores to use

nsims

(1) number of simulations to do

C

(500) number of nests (including ones that wont be detected)

phi_int

(5) beta intercept for phi (survival)

phi_cattle

(0) beta for cattle effect on phi

phi_stage

(0) beta for stage effect on phi

phi_robel

(0) beta for robel effect on robel

p_int

(-1) beta intercept for p (detection)

p_cattle

(0) beta for cattle effect on p

p_stage

(0) beta for stage effect on p

p_robel
