cjs.initial

Computes starting values for Phi and p parameters from the
list of design matrices and the summarized data list including ch matrix and
first and last vectors. If any values are missing (NA) or abs(par)&gt;5, they are
set to 0.

utility

Functions for fitting various models to capture-recapture data
including mixed-effects Cormack-Jolly-Seber(CJS) and multistate models and
the multi-variate state model structure for survival
estimation and POPAN structured Jolly-Seber models for abundance estimation.
There are also Hidden Markov model (HMM) implementations of CJS and multistate
models with and without state uncertainty and a simulation capability for HMM
models.
