Simulate data for a closed, 2-sample mark/recapture study
Usage
LP.sim(N, mark, recap, sample.fixed = FALSE)
Arguments
- N
Simulated population size
- mark
the number of individuals marked or the probability an individual
is caught and marked during the initial sample period.
- recap
the probability an individual is encountered in the second
sample period
- sample.fixed
is the sample size fixed or not. If TRUE, mark is a
number >1 and represents a number of known marked individuals released, otherwise, it's a probability (0,1)
Value
A list containing:
- r
the number of individuals marked in the first sample period
- n
the number of individuals in the second sample.
- m
the number of previously marked individuals in the second sample.
Examples
# Two examples if capture is simulated as a fixed number of individuals, or a probability
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
LP.sim(N=5E4, mark=300, recap=0.2, sample.fixed=TRUE)->sim1
LP.sim(N=5E4, mark=0.3, recap=0.2, sample.fixed=FALSE)->sim2
} # }
