Terse report on the fit of one or more spatially explicit capture--recapture models. Models with smaller values of AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion) are preferred. Extraction ([) and logLik methods are included.
# S3 method for secr
AIC(object, ..., sort = TRUE, k = 2, dmax = 10, criterion = c("AIC","AICc"), chat = NULL)
# S3 method for secrlist
AIC(object, ..., sort = TRUE, k = 2, dmax = 10, criterion = c("AIC","AICc"), chat = NULL)
# S3 method for secr
logLik(object, ...)
secrlist(..., names = NULL)
# S3 method for secrlist
[(x, i)
A data frame with one row per model. By default, rows are sorted by ascending 'criterion' (default AIC see Notes).
character string describing the fitted model
shape of detection function fitted (halfnormal vs hazard-rate)
number of parameters estimated
maximized log likelihood
Akaike's Information Criterion
AIC with small-sample adjustment of Hurvich & Tsai (1989)
And depending on criterion:
difference between AIC of this model and the one with smallest AIC
AIC model weight
or
difference between AICc of this model and the one with smallest AICc
AICc model weight
logLik.secr returns an object of class `logLik' that has
attribute df (degrees of freedom = number of estimated
parameters).
If the variance inflation factor 'chat' is provided then outputs AIC, AICc etc. are replaced by the corresponding quasi-AIC values labelled QAIC, QAICc etc.
secr object output from the function
secr.fit, or a list of such objects with class c("secrlist", "list")
other secr objects
logical for whether rows should be sorted by ascending AIC
numeric, penalty per parameter to be used; always k = 2 in this method
numeric, maximum AIC difference for inclusion in confidence set
character, criterion to use for model comparison and weights
numeric optional variance inflation factor for quasi-AIC
character vector of names (optional)
secrlist
indices
Models to be compared must have been fitted to the same data and use the
same likelihood method (full vs conditional). From version 4.1 a warning is
issued if AICcompatible reveals a problem.
AIC is given by
$$ \mbox{AIC} = -2\log(L(\hat{\theta})) + 2K$$
where \(K\) is the number of "beta" parameters estimated.
AIC with small sample adjustment is given by
$$ \mbox{AIC}_c = -2\log(L(\hat{\theta})) + 2K + \frac{2K(K+1)}{n-K-1}.$$
The sample size \(n\) is the number of individuals observed at least once (i.e. the
number of rows in capthist).
Model weights are calculated as $$w_i = \frac{\exp(-\Delta_i / 2),}{ \sum{\exp(-\Delta_i / 2)}}$$ where \(\Delta\) refers to differences in AIC or AICc depending on the argument `criterion' (see Notes).
Models for which delta > dmax are given a weight of zero and are
excluded from the summation. Model weights may be used to form
model-averaged estimates of real or beta parameters with
modelAverage (see also Buckland et al. 1997, Burnham and
Anderson 2002).
The argument k is included for consistency with the generic method AIC.
secrlist forms a list of fitted models (an object of class
`secrlist') from the fitted models in .... Arguments may include
secrlists. If secr components are named the model names will be retained unless `names' is specified.
(see Examples).
If chat (\(\hat c\)) is provided then quasi-AIC values are computed (secr >= 4.6.0):
$$ \mbox{QAIC} = -2\log(L(\hat{\theta}))/ \hat c + 2K.$$
