computeMPLElambda {unmarked} | R Documentation |
Compute the penalty weight for the MPLE penalized likelihood method
Description
This function computes the weight for the MPLE penalty of Moreno & Lele (2010).
Usage
computeMPLElambda(formula, data, knownOcc=numeric(0), starts,
method="BFGS",engine=c("C", "R"))
Arguments
formula |
Double right-hand side formula describing covariates of detection and occupancy in that order. |
data |
An |
knownOcc |
Vector of sites that are known to be occupied. These should be supplied as row numbers of the y matrix, eg, c(3,8) if sites 3 and 8 were known to be occupied a priori. |
starts |
Vector of parameter starting values. |
method |
Optimization method used by |
engine |
Either "C" or "R" to use fast C++ code or native R code during the optimization. |
Details
See occuPEN
for details and examples.
Value
The computed lambda.
