estdwp {dwp}

Estimate DWP

Description

Estimate the density-weighted proportion (DWP) of carcasses lying in the searched area at each turbine at a site. The calculation requires prior estimation of the expected proportion (psi) and the number of carcasses found (ncarc). NOTE: The carcass counts affect the uncertainty in the estimate of the fraction of carcasses in the searched area (DWP), and ncarc is required for accounting for uncertainty in estimates of DWP.

Usage

estdwp(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'psiHat'
estdwp(x, ncarc, nboot = NULL, forGenEst = FALSE, silent = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'psiHatcc'
estdwp(x, ncarc, nboot = NULL, forGenEst = FALSE, silent = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

Either (1) psiHat object, which is an nsim by nturbine matrix that gives the estimated probability of that a given carcass will land in the searched area at each turbine, with turbine IDs as column names; or (2) a psiHatcc object, which is a list of psiHat objects, one for each carcass class.

...

ignored

ncarc

vector of total carcass count at each turbine represented in x.

nboot

number of parametric bootstrap iterations for estimating CIs

forGenEst

format the results for importing into GenEst (boolean)

silent

suppress messages from the fitting of a beta distribution in internal calculations that, if successful, increase the speed of the calculations by 20-200x. The message would signal that this acceleration cannot be applied.
