helper function for mark recapture object

This function defines the properties of the mark recapture object using the constructor.

markRecaptureObject(
  window = NULL,
  xrange = c(0, 0),
  yrange = c(0, 0),
  survival = NULL,
  recovery = NULL,
  markedInds,
  migratoryConnectivity = NULL,
  observationTime,
  realRecoveries = NULL,
  breedingAreaNames = NULL,
  robust = TRUE
)

Arguments

window	object of class "owin":observation window in two-dimensional plane
xrange	vector in the form of c(xmin,xmax). To define line or rectangle xrange and yrange can be used instead of window.
yrange	vector in the form of c(ymin,ymax). To define line or rectangle xrange and yrange can be used instead of window.
survival	function: survival function defined over whole wintering area, independent of breeding area
recovery	constant function: recovery probability, must be constant over whole wintering area
markedInds	integer: number of marked individuals in this breeding area
migratoryConnectivity	either a list of functions containing one migratory connectivity function for every breeding area or a function with parameter b, allowing to partialize the function for every breeding area with purrr::partial
observationTime	length of observation window in years
realRecoveries	real-world recovery data, defaults to NULL
breedingAreaNames	character vector with breeding area names, defaults to NULL
robust	logical if TRUE robust linear model is calculated to estimate survival and migratory connectivity

Value

object of class "markRecaptureObject": contains list of wintering area, breeding areas, observationTime, number of breeding areas and spatial dimension

Examples

{
mro <- markRecaptureObject(xrange = c(0,1),
    survival = function(w) {0.5*w+.4},
    recovery = function(w) {0.01},
    markedInds = rep(100000,5) ,
    migratoryConnectivity = function(b,w,B=B) {
        truncnorm::dtruncnorm(w,0,1, mean = seq(0.1,0.9,length.out = B)[b],
        sd = 0.3)
        },
    observationTime = 10)
}
