Data and code from: Evaluating spatially explicit density estimates of unmarked wildlife detected by remote cameras.

<p>Detection data from American black bears and code used in &quot;Evaluating spatially explicit density estimates of unmarked wildlife detected by remote cameras&quot; published in the Journal of Applied Ecology (Evans &amp; Rittenhouse 2018).&nbsp; Unmarked detection data was collected using remote cameras in northwest Connecticut in 2014, and individual detection data was determined from unique genotypes obtained from non-invasive hair snares constructed at camera sampling locations.</p> <p>EN14.rds contains detection data as an R list:</p> <p>$y (num): J (sites) x K (occasions) matrix containing detection counts</p> <p>$X (int): 2 x J matrix of site coordinates</p> <p>$xlims (num): bounding x-coordinates</p> <p>$ylims (num): bounding y-coordinates</p> <p>$M (int): upper bound for super population of individuals</p> <p>$nTraps (int): number of sampling sites (J)</p> <p>$nReps (int): number of MCMC interations</p> <p>$forest (num): vector of site-specific covariates</p> <p>$mark (int): K x I matrix storing site numbers at which individual (i) was detected on occasion k</p> <p>FullModel.R provides functions used to fit constant density models to unmarked detections incorporating covariates of detection probability.</p> <p>partialID.R provides functions and code used to estimate density from mixtures of marked and unmarked detection data</p> <p>VariableDensity.R provides functions and code used to fit variable density models to unmarked detection data incorporating spatial covariates of density.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
