io.glm

Iterative offset GLM/GAM for fitting detection function


Description

Provides an iterative algorithm for finding the MLEs of detection (capture) probabilities for a two-occasion (double observer) mark-recapture experiment using standard algorithms GLM/GAM and an offset to compensate for conditioning on the set of observations. While the likelihood can be formulated and solved numerically, the use of GLM/GAM provides all of the available tools for fitting, predictions, plotting etc without any further development.

Usage

io.glm(
  datavec,
  fitformula,
  eps = 1e-05,
  iterlimit = 500,
  GAM = FALSE,
  gamplot = TRUE
)

Arguments

datavec

dataframe

fitformula

logit link formula

eps

convergence criterion

iterlimit

maximum number of iterations allowed

GAM

uses GAM instead of GLM for fitting

gamplot

set to TRUE to get a gam plot object if GAM=TRUE

Details

Note that currently the code in this function for GAMs has been commented out until the remainder of the mrds package will work with GAMs. This is an internal function that is used as by ddf.io.fi to fit mark-recapture models with 2 occasions. The argument mrmodel is used for fitformula.

Value

list of class("ioglm","glm","lm") or class("ioglm","gam")

glmobj

GLM or GAM object

offsetvalue

offsetvalues from iterative fit

plotobj

gam plot object (if GAM & gamplot==TRUE, else NULL)
