occuMulti fits the multispecies occupancy model from Rota et al. (2016),
for two or more interacting species.
The model generalizes the standard single-species occupancy model from
MacKenzie et al. (2002).
The latent occupancy state at site i for a set of s potentially
interacting species is a vector Z_i of length s
containing a sequence of the values 0 or 1. For example, when s = 2,
the possible states are [11], [10], [01], or [00],
corresponding to both species present, only species 1 or species 2 present,
or both species absent, respectively. The latent state modeled as a
multivariate Bernoulli random variable:
Z_i ~ MVB(psi_i)
where ψ_i is a vector of length 2^s containing the probability of each possible combination of 0s and 1s, such that sum(psi_i) = 1.
For s = 2, the corresponding natural parameters f are
f_1 = log(psi_10/psi_00)
f_2 = log(psi_01/psi_00)
f_12 = log((psi_11 * psi_00)/(psi_10 * psi_01))
The natural parameters can then be modeled as linear functions of covariates.
Covariates for each f must be specified with the stateformulas argument,
which takes a character vector of individual formulas of length equal to the number of
natural parameters (which in turn depends on the number of species in the model).
The observation process is similar to the standard single-species occupancy model, except that the observations y_ij at site i on occasion j are vectors of length s and there are independent values of detection probability p for each species s:
y_ij | Z_i ~ Bernoulli(Z_i * p_sij)
Independent detection models (potentially containing different covariates)
must be provided for each species with the detformulas argument,
which takes a character vector of individual formulas with length equal to
the number of species s.
