d.mix.dists.func {ConnMatTools}

Returns probability density function (PDF) for a mix of marked and unmarked individuals

Description

This function returns a probability density function (PDF) for scores for a mix of marked and unmarked individuals with known fraction of marked individuals. The distributions for marked individuals and for unmarked individuals must be known.

Usage

d.mix.dists.func(d.unmarked, d.marked)

Arguments

d.unmarked

A function representing the PDF of unmarked individuals. Must be normalized so that it integrates to 1 for the function to work properly.

d.marked

A function representing the PDF of marked individuals. Must be normalized so that it integrates to 1 for the function to work properly.

Value

A function representing the PDF of observations drawn from the mixed distribution of marked and unmarked individuals. The function takes two arguments: p.marked, the fraction of marked individuals in the distribution; and obs, a vector of observed score values.
