BatGroup {gpk}

Fitting distributions to the bat group size data

Description

In a study of a bat community, scientists were interested in social behavior. In particular, they wanted to see whether bats are loners or they prefer to be in groups. Research on other taxa suggests that a Poisson or a negative binomial distribution may be appropriate. Of course, value zero of group size is not observable and needs to be truncated.
