rem.glm

Iterative offset model fitting of mark-recapture with removal model

Description

Detection function fitting from mark-recapture data with a removal configuration in which a secondary observer knows what the primary observer detects and detects objects missed by the primary observer. The iterative offset glm/gam uses an offset to compensate for the conditioning on the set of objects seen by either observer (eg 00 those missed by both observers are not included in the analysis. This function is similar to io.glm.

Usage

rem.glm(
  datavec,
  fitformula,
  eps = 1e-05,
  iterlimit = 500,
  GAM = FALSE,
  gamplot = TRUE,
  datavec2
)

Arguments

`datavec`	dataframe containing records seen by either observer 1 or 2
`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`
`datavec2`	dataframe containing all records for observer 1 and observer 2 as in io.glm form; this is used in case there is an observer(not platform effect)

Details

The only difference between this function and io.glm is the offset and the data construction because there is only one detection function being estimated for the primary observer. The two functions could be merged.

Value

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

`glmobj`	GLM or GAM object
`offsetvalue`	offsetvalues from iterative fit
`plotobj`	gam plot object (if GAM & gamplot==TRUE, else NULL)

Note

currently the code in this function for GAMs has been commented out until the remainder of the mrds package will work with GAMs.
