Size Biased Distributions
Description
Fitting and plotting parametric or non-parametric size-biased non-negative distributions, with optional covariates in the case of parametric. Supports three parametric options, log-normal, Weibull, and gamma.
Details
The core function is sbm, which fits a model to
non-negative observations to estimate the average of the underlying
distribution assuming that the probability of making an observation is
proportional to the size of that observation. The default gives a
non-parametric fit (the harmonic mean), and three parametric options are
also available: log-normal, Weibull, and gamma. Covariates can be included
in parametric models. The output is a list of class sbm, which has
methods plot, predict, summary, and AIC. The
functions were developed to support the analysis of speed observations from
camera trap data described by Rowcliffe et al. (2016).
