list.historylabels: List all the observable partial capture histories
Description
This function returns a list of all the observable partial capture histories which can be recorded in a discrete-time capture-recapture setting with \(t\) consecutive trapping occasions. The observable partial capture histories are \(2^t-1\)
Usage
list.historylabels(t,t.max=15)
Arguments
t
a positive integer representing the total number of trapping occasions
t.max
a positive integer representing upper bound on the total number of trapping occasions allowed.
Value
A list of all the observable partial capture histories which can be recorded in a discrete-time capture-recapture setting with t consecutive trapping occasions. If t>t.max the function stops with an error message.
Details
For obvious computing/memory reasons t is not allowed to be arbitrarily large. With t.max=15 there are 32767 possible partial capture histories. If t>t.max the function stops with an error message.
