Fits state-space models to Argos data

Description

Takes output from dat4jags, sets up initial values, calls JAGS, and aggregates results. Intended for internal use, called by fit_ssm.

Usage

ssm(d, model = "DCRW", adapt, samples, thin, chains, span)

Arguments

d

structured data from dat4jags to be passed to JAGS

model

the state-space model to be fit: DCRW or DCRWS

adapt

number of samples in adaptation/burnin phase

samples

number of posterior samples

thin

thinning factor to reduce posterior sample autocorrelation

chains

number of parallel McMC chains to run

span

span

Value

Returns a list of McMC samples from marginal posteriors and a summary data.frame of mean and median position estimates.
