Various helper functions
Description
cleanCH removes histories without any capture (ie, all-zero rows) from a capture-recapture matrix.
rmFirst removes the first capture in each row of a capture history matrix, replacing it with zero.
zKnown takes a capture history and returns a matching matrix with 1 where the individual is know to be alive (ie, between the first and last capture) and NA elsewhere.
zInit takes a capture history and returns a matching matrix with 1 after the occasion of first capture and NA elsewhere.
zInitDR takes a dead-recovery capture history and returns a matching matrix with 1 after the occasion of first capture until the recovery occasion and 0 subsequently; NA elsewhere.
getFirst calculates the occasion of first capture in a capture history matrix.
Usage
cleanCH(ch)
zKnown(ch)
zInit(ch)
zInitDR(chDR)
rmFirst(x)
getFirst(x)
Arguments
ch |
an individuals x time matrix with capture histories. |
chDR |
an individuals x time matrix with dead recovery capture histories: 1 indicates initial capture or dead recovery, 0 otherwise. |
x |
an individuals x time matrix with capture histories, or a vector of capture/noncapture data, typically 1 row of a capture history. |
Value
cleanCH, zKnown, zInit, zInitDR and rmFirst return the modified capture history matrix.
getFirst returns the occasion of first capture, NA if no capture recorded for an individual.
