unmarked (version 1.4.3)

unmarkedFramePCO: Create an object of class unmarkedFramePCO that contains data used by pcountOpen.

Description

Organizes repeated count data along with the covariates and possibly the dates on which each survey was conducted. This S4 class is required by the data argument of pcountOpen

Usage

unmarkedFramePCO(y, siteCovs=NULL, obsCovs=NULL, yearlySiteCovs, mapInfo,
    numPrimary, primaryPeriod)

Value

an object of class unmarkedFramePCO

Arguments

y

An MxJT matrix of the repeated count data, where M is the number of sites, J is the maximum number of secondary sampling periods per site and T is the maximum number of primary sampling periods per site.

siteCovs

A data.frame of covariates that vary at the site level. This should have M rows and one column per covariate

obsCovs

Either a named list of data.frames of covariates that vary within sites, or a data.frame with MxJT rows in site-major order.

yearlySiteCovs

Either a named list of MxT data.frames, or a site-major data.frame with MT rows and 1 column per covariate.

mapInfo

Currently ignored

numPrimary

Maximum number of observed primary periods for each site

primaryPeriod

matrix of integers indicating the primary period of each survey.

Details

unmarkedFramePCO is the S4 class that holds data to be passed to the pcountOpen model-fitting function.

The unmarkedFramePCO class is similar to the unmarkedFramePCount class except that it contains the dates for each survey, which needs to be supplied .
