As a first example, we will ignore the size category and use intercept-only models for both $p$ and $k$: ```{r} data_SE <- mock$SE pkModel <- pkm(formula_p = p ~ 1, formula_k = k ~ 1, data = data_SE) ``` Here, we have taken advantage of `pkm`'s default behavior of selecting observation columns (see `?pkm` for details). ```{r} head(data_SE) ``` If we wanted to explicitly control the observations, we would use the `obsCol` argument: ```{r} pkModel <- pkm(formula_p = p ~ 1, formula_k = k ~ 1, data = data_SE, obsCol = c("Search1", "Search2", "Search3", "Search4") ) ``` Note that the search observations must be entered in order such that no carcasses have non-detected observations (*i.e.*, `0`) after detected observations (*i.e.*, `1`). Further, no carcasses can be detected more than once. If successfully fit, a `pkm` model output contains a number of elements, some printed automatically: ```{r} pkModel ``` and others available upon request: ```{r} names(pkModel) pkModel$cells ``` The `plot` function has been defined for `pkm` objects, such that one can simply run ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 7, fig.height = 7, fig.align = 'center'} plot(pkModel) ``` to visualize the model's output. You can generate random draws of the $p$ and $k$ parameters for each cell grouping (in `pkModel` there are no predictors, so there is one cell grouping called "all") using the `rpk` function which, like other `r*` functions in **R** (*e.g.*, `rnorm`, `runif`) takes the number of random draws (`n`) as the first argument: ```{r} rpk(n = 10, pkModel) ``` You can complicate the $p$ and $k$ formulae independently ```{r} pkm(formula_p = p ~ Visibility, formula_k = k ~ HabitatType, data = data_SE, obsCol = c("Search1", "Search2", "Search3", "Search4") ) ``` And you can fix $k$ at a nominal value between 0 and 1 (inclusive) using the `kFixed` argument ```{r} pkm(formula_p = p ~ Visibility, kFixed = 0.7, data = data_SE, obsCol = c("Search1", "Search2", "Search3", "Search4")) ``` ### Set of Searcher Efficiency Models If the arg `allCombos = TRUE` is provided, `pkm` fits a set of `pkm` models defined as all allowable models simpler than, and including, the provided model for both formulae (where "allowable" means that any interaction terms have all component terms included in the model). Consider the following model set analysis, where visibility and habitat type are included in the $p$ formula but only habitat type is in the $k$ formula. This generates a set of 10 models: ```{r} pkmModSet <- pkm(formula_p = p ~ Visibility*HabitatType, formula_k = k ~ HabitatType, data = data_SE, obsCol = c("Search1", "Search2", "Search3", "Search4"), allCombos = TRUE ) class(pkmModSet) names(pkmModSet) ``` The `plot` function is defined for the `pkmSet` class, and by default, creates a new plot window on command for each sub-model. If we want to only plot a specific single (or subset) of models from the full set, we can utilize the `specificModel` argument: ```{r, eval = F, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 7, fig.height = 7, fig.align = 'center'} plot(pkmModSet, specificModel = "p ~ Visibility + HabitatType; k ~ 1") ``` The resulting model outputs can be compared in an AICc table ```{r} aicc(pkmModSet) ``` ### Multiple Sizes of Animals and Sets of Searcher Efficiency Models Often, carcasses are grouped in multiple size classes, and we are interested in analyzing a set of models separately for each size class. To do so, we use the `sizeCol` arg to tell `pkm` which column in `data_CP` gives the carcass size class. If, in addition, `allCombos = TRUE`, `pkm` will fit a `pkmSet` that runs for each unique size class in the column identified by the `sizeCol` argument: ```{r} pkmModSetSize <- pkm(formula_p = p ~ Visibility*HabitatType, formula_k = k ~ HabitatType, data = data_SE, obsCol = c("Search1", "Search2", "Search3", "Search4"), sizeCol = "Size", allCombos = TRUE) class(pkmModSetSize) ``` The `pkmSetSize` object is a list where each element corresponds to a different unique size class, and contains the associated `pkmSet`object, which itself is a list of `pkm` outputs: ```{r} names(pkmModSetSize) names(pkmModSetSize[[1]]) ``` ## Carcass Persistence ### Single Carcass Persistence Model The central function for carcass persistence analyses is `cpm`, which, in its simplest form, conducts a singular carcass persistence analysis (*i.e.*, a singular set of $l$ and $s$ formulae and a singular size classification of carcasses). Note that we use $l$ and $s$ to reference $location$ and $scale$ as the parameters for survival models, following `survreg`, however we also provide an alternative parameterization (using parameters $a$ and $b$, referred to as "`ab`" or "ppersist"). As a first example, we will ignore the size category, use intercept-only models for both $l$ and $s$, and use the Weibull distribution: ```{r} data_CP <- mock$CP cpModel <- cpm(formula_l = l ~ 1, formula_s = s ~ 1, data = data_CP, left = "LastPresentDecimalDays", right = "FirstAbsentDecimalDays", dist = "weibull" ) ``` If successfully fit, a `cpm` model output contains a number of elements, some printed automatically: ```{r} cpModel ``` and others available upon request: ```{r} names(cpModel) cpModel$cells ``` The `plot` function has been defined for `cpm` objects, such that one can simply run ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 6, fig.height = 6, fig.align = 'center'} plot(cpModel) ``` to visualize the model's output. You can generate random draws of the $l$ and $s$ (or $a$ and $b$) parameters for each cell grouping (in `cpModel` there are no predictors, so there is one cell grouping called "all") using the `rcp` function which, like other `r*` functions in **R** (*e.g.*, `rnorm`) takes the number of random draws (`n`) as the first argument: ```{r} rcp(n = 10, cpModel) rcp(n = 10, cpModel, type = "ppersist") ``` You can complicate the $l$ and $s$ formulae independently ```{r} cpm(formula_l = l ~ Visibility * GroundCover, formula_s = s ~ 1, data = data_CP, left = "LastPresentDecimalDays", right = "FirstAbsentDecimalDays", dist = "weibull" ) ``` Given that the exponential only has one parameter ($l$, location), a model for scale (`formula_s`) is not required: ```{r} cpModExp <- cpm(formula_l = l ~ Visibility * GroundCover, data = data_CP, left = "LastPresentDecimalDays", right = "FirstAbsentDecimalDays", dist = "exponential" ) ``` ### Set of Carcass Persistence Models If the arg `allCombos = TRUE` is provided, `cpm` fits a set of `cpm` models defined as all allowable models simpler than, and including, the provided model formulae (where "allowable" means that any interaction terms have all component terms included in the model). In addition, `cpm` with `allCombos` can include any subset of the four base distributions (exponential, weibull, lognormal, loglogistic) and crosses them with the predictor models. Consider the following model set analysis, where `Visibility` and `Season` are included in the $l$ formula but only `Visibility` is in the $s$ formula, and only the exponential and lognormal distributions are included. This generates a set of 15 models: ```{r} cpmModSet <- cpm(formula_l = l ~ Visibility * Season, formula_s = s ~ Visibility, data = data_CP, left = "LastPresentDecimalDays", right = "FirstAbsentDecimalDays", dist = c("exponential", "lognormal"), allCombos = TRUE ) class(cpmModSet) names(cpmModSet) ``` The resulting model outputs can be compared in an AICc table ```{r} aicc(cpmModSet) ``` The `plot` function is defined for the `cpmSet` class, and by default, creates a new plot window on command for each sub-model. If we want to only plot a specific single (or subset) of models from the full set, we can utilize the `specificModel` argument: ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 7, fig.height = 7, fig.align = 'center'} plot(cpmModSet, specificModel = "dist: lognormal; l ~ Visibility * Season; s ~ Visibility" ) ``` ### Multiple Sizes of Animals and Sets of Carcass Persistence Models Often, carcasses are grouped in multiple size classes, and we are interested in analyzing a set of models separately for each size class. To do so, we furnish `cpm` with `sizeCol`, which is the name of the column in `data_CP` that gives the size classes of the carcasses. If, in addition, `allCombos = TRUE`, then `cpm` returns a `cpmSet` for each unique size class in the column identified by the `sizeCol` argument: ```{r} cpmModSetSize <- cpm(formula_l = l ~ Visibility * Season, formula_s = s ~ Visibility, data = data_CP, left = "LastPresentDecimalDays", right = "FirstAbsentDecimalDays", dist = c("exponential", "lognormal"), sizeCol = "Size", allCombos = TRUE) class(cpmModSetSize) ``` The `cpmSetSize` object is a list where each element corresponds to a different unique size class, and contains the associated `cpmSet`o bject, which itself is a list of `cpm` outputs: ```{r} names(cpmModSetSize) names(cpmModSetSize[[1]]) class(cpmModSetSize[[1]]) ``` ## Generic Detection Probability For the purposes of mortality estimation, we calculate carcass-specific detection probabilities (see below), which may be difficult to generalize, given the specific history of each observed carcass. Thus, we also provide a simple means to calculate generic detection probabilities that are cell-specific, rather than carcass-specific. For any estimation of detection probability ($\hat{g}$), we need to have singular SE and CP models to use for each of the size classes. Here, we use the best-fit of the models for each size class: ```{r} pkMods <- c("S" = "p ~ 1; k ~ 1", "L" = "p ~ 1; k ~ 1", "M" = "p ~ 1; k ~ 1", "XL" = "p ~ 1; k ~ HabitatType" ) cpMods <- c("S" = "dist: exponential; l ~ Season; NULL", "L" = "dist: exponential; l ~ 1; NULL", "M" = "dist: exponential; l ~ 1; NULL", "XL" = "dist: exponential; l ~ 1; NULL" ) ``` The `estgGenericSize` function produces `n` random draws of generic (i.e., cell-specific, not carcass-sepecific) detection probabilities for each of the possible carcass cell combinations across the selected SE and CP models across the size classes. `estgGeneric` is a single-size-class version of function and `estgGenericSize` actually loops over `estgGeneric`. The generic $\hat{g}$ is estimated according to a particular search schedule. When we pass `averageSS` a full `data_SS` table like we have here, it will assume that columns filled exclusively with 0s and 1s represent search schedules for units and will create the average search schedule across the units. ```{r} data_SS <- mock$SS avgSS <- averageSS(data_SS) gsGeneric <- estgGenericSize(nsim = 1000, days = avgSS, modelSetSize_SE = pkmModSetSize, modelSetSize_CP = cpmModSetSize, modelSizeSelections_SE = pkMods, modelSizeSelections_CP = cpMods ) ``` The output from `estgGeneric` can be simply summarized ```{r} summary(gsGeneric) ``` or plotted. ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 4, fig.height = 14, fig.align = 'center'} plot(gsGeneric) ``` ## Mortality Estimation When estimating mortality, detection probability is determined for individual carcasses based on the dates when they are observed, size class values, associated covariates, the searcher efficiency and carcass persistence models, and the search schedule. The carcass-specific detection probabilities (as opposed to the generic/cell-specific detection probabilities above) are therefore calculated before estimating the total mortality. Although it is possible to estimate these detection probabilities separately, they are best interpreted in the context of a full mortality estimation. The `estM` function is the general wrapper function for estimating `M`, whether for a single size class or multiple size classes. Prior to estimation, we need to reduce the model-set-size complexed to just a single chosen model per size class, corresponding to the `pkMods` and `cpMods` vectors given above. To reduce the model set complexity, we can use the `trimSetSize` function: ```{r} pkmModSize <- trimSetSize(pkmModSetSize, pkMods) cpmModSize <- trimSetSize(cpmModSetSize, cpMods) ``` In addition to the models and search schedule data, `estM` requires density-weighted proportion (DWP) and carcass observation (CO) data. If more than one size class is represented in the data, a required input is also the column names associated with the DWP value for each size class (argument `DWPCol` in `estM`): ```{r} data_CO <- mock$CO data_DWP <- mock$DWP head(data_DWP) DWPcolnames <- names(pkmModSize) eM <- estM(data_CO = data_CO, data_SS = data_SS, data_DWP = data_DWP, frac = 1, model_SE = pkmModSize, model_CP = cpmModSize, unitCol = "Unit", COdate = "DateFound", SSdate = "DateSearched", sizeCol = "Size", nsim = 1000) ``` `estM` returns an object that contains the random draws of `pkm` and `cpm` parameters (named `pk` and `ab`, respectively) and the estimated carcass-level detection parameters (`g`), arrival intervals (`Aj`), and associated total mortality (`Mhat`) values for each simulation. These `Mhat` values should be considered in combination, and can be summarized and plotted simply: ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 6, fig.height = 6, fig.align = 'center'} summary(eM) plot(eM) ``` ### Splitting Mortality Estimations It is possible to split the resulting mortality estimation into components that are denoted according to covariates in either the search schedule or carcass observation data sets. First, a temporal split: ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 4, fig.height = 6, fig.align = 'center'} M_season <- calcSplits(M = eM, split_SS = "Construction", split_CO = NULL, data_SS = data_SS, data_CO = data_CO ) summary(M_season) plot(M_season) ``` Next, a carcass split: ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 4, fig.height = 6, fig.align = 'center'} M_class <- calcSplits(M = eM, split_SS = NULL, split_CO = "Split", data_SS = data_SS, data_CO = data_CO ) summary(M_class) plot(M_class) ``` And finally, if two splits are included, the mortality estimation is expanded fully factorially: ```{r, fig.show = "hold", fig.width = 4, fig.height = 8, fig.align = 'center'} M_SbyC <- calcSplits(M = eM, split_SS = "Construction", split_CO = "Split", data_SS = data_SS, data_CO = data_CO ) summary(M_SbyC) plot(M_SbyC) ```
