This function fits Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) open population models for survival probability (\(\phi\)) and capture probability (\(p\)) from capture-mark-recapture data consisting of multiple non-invasive marks. Using Bayesian analysis methods, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is used to draw samples from the joint posterior distribution.

Formula always NULL; only for internal use in multimodelCJS.
A list of design matrices for detection and survival probability respectively generated by mod.p and mod.phi, where DM$p is the design matrix for capture probability (\(p\)) and DM$phi is the design matrix for survival probability (\(\phi\)).
A list containing the parameter and latent variable values at iteration iter for each chain. Values are provided for "pbeta", "phibeta", "delta_1", "delta_2", "alpha", "sigma2_zp" "sigma2_zphi", "zp", "zphi", "psi", "x", "H", and "q".
An object of class multimarksetup
A matrix of observed encounter histories with rows corresponding to individuals and columns corresponding to sampling occasions (ignored unless mms=NULL).
Specifies the encounter history data type. All data types include non-detections (type 0 encounter), type 1 encounter (e.g., left-side), and type 2 encounters (e.g., right-side). When both type 1 and type 2 encounters occur for the same individual within a sampling occasion, these can either be "non-simultaneous" (type 3 encounter) or "simultaneous" (type 4 encounter). Three data types are currently permitted:
data.type="never" indicates both type 1 and type 2 encounters are never observed for the same individual within a sampling occasion, and observed encounter histories therefore include only type 1 or type 2 encounters (e.g., only left- and right-sided photographs were collected). Observed encounter histories can consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), and type 2 encounters (2). See bobcat. Latent encounter histories consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), type 2 encounters (2), and type 3 encounters (3).
data.type="sometimes" indicates both type 1 and type 2 encounters are sometimes observed (e.g., both-sided photographs are sometimes obtained, but not necessarily for all individuals). Observed encounter histories can consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), type 2 encounters (2), type 3 encounters (3), and type 4 encounters (4). Type 3 encounters can only be observed when an individual has at least one type 4 encounter. Latent encounter histories consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), type 2 encounters (2), type 3 encounters (3), and type 4 encounters (4).
data.type="always" indicates both type 1 and type 2 encounters are always observed, but some encounter histories may still include only type 1 or type 2 encounters. Observed encounter histories can consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), type 2 encounters (2), and type 4 encounters (4). Latent encounter histories consist of non-detections (0), type 1 encounters (1), type 2 encounters (2), and type 4 encounters (4).
A data frame of temporal covariates for detection probabilities (ignored unless mms=NULL). The number of rows in the data frame must equal the number of sampling occasions. Covariate names cannot be "time", "age", or "h"; these names are reserved for temporal, behavioral, and individual effects when specifying mod.p and mod.phi.
An optional object of class multimarksetup-class; if NULL it is created. See processdata.
Model formula for detection probability (\(p\)). For example, mod.p=~1 specifies no effects (i.e., intercept only), mod.p~time specifies temporal effects, mod.p~age specifies age effects, mod.p~h specifies individual heterogeneity, and mod.p~time+age specifies additive temporal and age effects.
Model formula for survival probability (\(\phi\)). For example, mod.phi=~1 specifies no effects (i.e., intercept only), mod.phi~time specifies temporal effects, mod.phi~age specifies age effects, mod.phi~h specifies individual heterogeneity, and mod.phi~time+age specifies additive temporal and age effects.
Model formula for conditional probabilities of type 1 (delta_1) and type 2 (delta_2) encounters, given detection. Currently only mod.delta=~1 (i.e., \(\delta_1 = \delta_2\)) and mod.delta=~type (i.e., \(\delta_1 \ne \delta_2\)) are implemented.
A character vector giving the names of the parameters and latent variables to monitor. Possible parameters are probit-scale detection probability parameters ("pbeta" for \(p\) and "phibeta" for \(\phi\)), conditional probability of type 1 or type 2 encounter, given detection ("delta)", probability of simultaneous type 1 and type 2 detection, given both types encountered ("alpha"), probit-scale individual heterogeneity variance terms ("sigma2_zp" for \(p\) and "sigma2_zphi" for \(\phi\)), probit-scale individual effects ("zp" and "zphi"), and the probability that a randomly selected individual from the M = nrow(Enc.Mat) observed individuals belongs to the \(n\) unique individuals encountered at least once ("psi"). Individual encounter history indices ("H"), latent variable indicators for whether each individual was alive (1) or dead (0) during each sampling occasion ("q"), and the log likelihood ("loglike") may also be monitored. Setting parms="all" monitors all possible parameters and latent variables.
The number of parallel MCMC chains for the model.
The number of MCMC iterations.

Maximum number of basis vectors to use when proposing latent history frequency updates. Default is maxnumbasis = 1, but higher values can potentially improve mixing.
Scaler or vector (of length k) specifying mean of pbeta ~ multivariateNormal(pbeta0, pSigma0) prior. If pbeta0 is a scaler, then this value is used for all j = 1, ..., k. Default is pbeta0 = 0.
Scaler or k x k matrix specifying covariance matrix of pbeta ~ multivariateNormal(pbeta0, pSigma0) prior. If pSigma0 is a scaler, then this value is used for all pSigma0[j,j] for j = 1, ..., k (with pSigma[j,l] = 0 for all \(j \ne l\)). Default is pSigma0 = 1.
Scaler or vector (of length k) specifying mean of phibeta ~ multivariateNormal(phibeta0, phiSigma0) prior. If phibeta0 is a scaler, then this value is used for all j = 1, ..., k. Default is phibeta0 = 0.
Scaler or k x k matrix specifying covariance matrix of phibeta ~ multivariateNormal(phibeta0, phiSigma0) prior. If phiSigma0 is a scaler, then this value is used for all phiSigma0[j,j] for j = 1, ..., k (with phiSigma[j,l] = 0 for all \(j \ne l\)). Default is phiSigma0 = 1.
Specifies "shape" parameter for [sigma2_zp] ~ invGamma(l0p,d0p) prior. Default is l0p = 1.
Specifies "scale" parameter for [sigma2_zp] ~ invGamma(l0p,d0p) prior. Default is d0p = 0.01.
Specifies "shape" parameter for [sigma2_zphi] ~ invGamma(l0phi,d0phi) prior. Default is l0phi = 1.
Specifies "scale" parameter for [sigma2_zphi] ~ invGamma(l0phi,d0phi) prior. Default is d0phi = 0.01.
Scaler or vector (of length d) specifying the prior for the conditional (on detection) probability of type 1 (delta_1), type 2 (delta_2), and both type 1 and type 2 encounters (1-delta_1-delta_2). If a0delta is a scaler, then this value is used for all a0delta[j] for j = 1, ..., d. For mod.delta=~type, d=3 with [delta_1, delta_2, 1-delta_1-delta_2] ~ Dirichlet(a0delta) prior. For mod.delta=~1, d=2 with [tau] ~ Beta(a0delta[1],a0delta[2]) prior, where (delta_1,delta_2,1-delta_1-delta_2) = (tau/2,tau/2,1-tau). See McClintock et al. (2013) for more details.
Specifies "shape1" parameter for [alpha] ~ Beta(a0alpha, b0alpha) prior. Only applicable when data.type = "sometimes". Default is a0alpha = 1. Note that when a0alpha = 1 and b0alpha = 1, then [alpha] ~ Unif(0,1).
Specifies "shape2" parameter for [alpha] ~ Beta(a0alpha, b0alpha) prior. Only applicable when data.type = "sometimes". Default is b0alpha = 1. Note that when a0alpha = 1 and b0alpha = 1, then [alpha] ~ Unif(0,1).
Specifies "shape1" parameter for [psi] ~ Beta(a0psi,b0psi) prior. Default is a0psi = 1.
Specifies "shape2" parameter for [psi] ~ Beta(a0psi,b0psi) prior. Default is b0psi = 1.
Optional list of nchain list(s) specifying initial values for parameters and latent variables. Default is initial.values = NULL, which causes initial values to be generated automatically. In addition to the parameters ("pbeta", "phibeta", "delta_1", "delta_2", "alpha", "sigma2_zp", "sigma2_zphi", "zp", "zphi", and "psi"), initial values can be specified for the initial latent history frequencies ("x"), initial individual encounter history indices ("H"), and initial latent variable indicators for whether each individual was alive (1) or dead (0) during each sampling occasion ("q").
Optional integer vector indicating whether the encounter history of an individual is known with certainty (i.e., the observed encounter history is the true encounter history). Encounter histories with at least one type 4 encounter are automatically assumed to be known, and known does not need to be specified unless there exist encounter histories that do not contain a type 4 encounter that happen to be known with certainty (e.g., from independent telemetry studies). If specified, known = c(v_1,v_2,...,v_M) must be a vector of length M = nrow(Enc.Mat) where v_i = 1 if the encounter history for individual i is known (v_i = 0 otherwise). Note that known all-zero encounter histories (e.g., `000') are ignored.
Link function for survival and capture probabilities. Only probit link is currently implemented.
Logical indicating whether to print the progress of chains and any errors to a log file in the working directory. Ignored when nchains=1. Updates are printed to log file as 1% increments of iter of each chain are completed. With >1 chains, setting printlog=TRUE is probably most useful for Windows users because progress and errors are automatically printed to the R console for "Unix-like" machines (i.e., Mac and Linux) when printlog=FALSE. Default is printlog=FALSE.
Additional "parameters" arguments for specifying mod.p and mod.phi. See RMark::make.design.data.

The first time multimarkCJS (or multimarkClosed) is called, it will likely produce a firewall warning alerting users that R has requested the ability to accept incoming network connections. Incoming network connections are required to use parallel processing as implemented in multimarkCJS. Note that setting parms="all" is required for any multimarkCJS model output to be used in multimodelCJS.
