Carcass detection probability acording to Erickson et al. 2004
Description
Calculates carcass detection probability based on persistence time, searcher efficiency, search interval and duration of study.
Usage
perickson(t.bar=NULL, s, f, d)
Arguments
t.bar |
mean carcass persistence time in days (or another time unit) |
s |
mean (e.g. daily) carcass persistence probability. |
f |
searcher efficiency: probability that a carcass present on the study plot is detected by a searcher during a seach. |
d |
search interval: time (in days) between two searches |
Details
Time measurements (search interval and carcass persistence time or persistence probability) should be given in the same unit. Either t.bar or s has to be provided.
Value
a proportion: the probability that an animal that dies during the study period on the study plot is detected by a searcher
