TigerIdentity


Tiger census is a long debated issue in wildlife conservation. Since direct count is not possible any indirect method is based on similarities/ discrepancies in sample evidence. Two methods, which have received attention, are (i) pugmark counting and (ii) camera trap method. In pugmark method, if two pugmarks appear similar in shape and size, they are supposed to represent same animal. In Camera trap, if two photographs show similar stripe pattern, they represent same tiger. It now appears that a third method is possible. It is based on parasite composition of scat samples. If the composition is similar, most likely the two samples come from same animal. 


datasets

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.
