detHist: Compute Summary Statistics from Detection Histories

Description

This function extracts various summary statistics from detection history data of various unmarkedFrame and unmarkedFit classes.

Usage

detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitColExt detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitOccu detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitOccuFP detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitOccuRN detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitOccuMulti detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFitOccuMS detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFrameOccu detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFrameOccuFP detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedMultFrame detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFrameOccuMulti detHist(object, ...)

# S3 method for unmarkedFrameOccuMS detHist(object, ...)

Value

For objects of classes unmarkedFitOccu, unmarkedFitOccuRN,

unmarkedFitOccuFP, unmarkedFitColExt,

unmarkedFitOccuMS, unmarkedFrameOccu,

unmarkedFrameOccuFP, unmarkedMultFrame, and

unmarkedFrameOccuMS, detHist returns a list with the following components:

hist.table.full

a table with the frequency of each observed detection history.

hist.table.seasons

a list of tables with the frequency of each season-specific detection history.

out.freqs

a matrix where the rows correspond to each sampling season and where columns consist of the number of sites sampled in season \(t\) (sampled) and the number of sites with at least one detection in season \(t\) (detected). For multiseason data, the matrix includes the number of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) with colonizations observed in season \(t\) (colonized), the number of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) with extinctions observed in season \(t\) (extinct), the number of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) without changes observed in season \(t\) (static), and the number of sites sampled in season \(t\) that were also sampled in season \(t - 1\) (common). For multispecies data, out.freqs presents for each species the number of sites sampled and the number of sites with at least one detection.

out.props

a matrix where the rows correspond to each sampling season and where columns consist of the proportion of sites in season t with at least one detection (naive.occ). For multiseason data, the matrix includes the proportion of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) with colonizations observed in season \(t\) (naive.colonization), the proportion of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) with extinctions observed in season \(t\) (naive.extinction), and the proportion of sites sampled in season \(t - 1\) with no changes observed in season \(t\). For multispecies data, out.props presents the proportion of sites with a least one detection for each species.

n.seasons

the number of seasons (primary periods) in the data set.

n.visits.season

the maximum number of visits per season in the data set.

n.species

the number of species in the data set.

missing.seasons

logical vector indicating whether data were collected or not during a given season (primary period), where TRUE indicates that no data were collected during the season.

For objects of classes unmarkedFitOccuMulti and

unmarkedFrameOccuMulti, detHist returns a list with the following components:

hist.table.full

a table with the frequency of each observed detection history. The species are coded with letters and follow the same order of presentation as in the other parts of the output.

hist.table.species

a list of tables with the frequency of each species-specific detection history. The last element of hist.table.species features the number of sites with co-occurrence of the different species (coOcc).

out.freqs

a matrix where the rows correspond to each species and where columns consist of the number of sites sampled during the season (sampled) and the number of sites with at least one detection (detected).

out.props

a matrix where the rows correspond to each species and where columns consist of the proportion of sites with at least one detection during the season (naive.occ).

n.seasons

the number of seasons (primary periods) in the data set.

n.visits.season

the maximum number of visits per season in the data set.

n.species

the number of species in the data set.

missing.seasons

logical vector indicating whether data were collected or not during a given season (primary period), where TRUE indicates that no data were collected during the season.

Arguments

object

an object of various unmarkedFrame or unmarkedFit classes containing detection history data.

...

additional arguments passed to the function.

Details

This function computes a number of summary statistics in data sets used for single-season occupancy models (MacKenzie et al. 2002), dynamic occupancy models (MacKenzie et al. 2003), Royle-Nichols models (Royle and Nichols 2003), false-positive occupancy models (Royle and Link 2006, Miller et al. 2011), multispecies occupancy models (Rota et al. 2016), and multistate occupancy models (Nichols et al. 2007, MacKenzie et al. 2009).

detHist can take data frames of the unmarkedFrameOccu, unmarkedFrameOccuFP, unmarkedMultFrame, unmarkedFrameOccuMulti, unmarkedFrameOccuMS classes as input. For convenience, the function can also extract the raw data from model objects of classes unmarkedFitColExt, unmarkedFitOccu, unmarkedFitOccuFP, unmarkedFitOccuRN, unmarkedFrameOccuMulti, and unmarkedFrameOccuMS. Note that different model objects using the same data set will have identical values.
