Predict Density Surface

Description

Predict density at each point on a raster mask from a fitted secr model.

Usage

predictDsurface(object, mask = NULL, se.D = FALSE, cl.D = FALSE, alpha =
0.05, parameter = c('D', 'noneuc'))

Arguments

object	fitted secr object
mask	secr mask object
se.D	logical for whether to compute prediction SE
cl.D	logical for whether to compute confidence limits
alpha	alpha level for 100(1 – alpha)% confidence intervals
parameter	character for real parameter to predict

Details

Predictions use the linear model for density on the link scale in the fitted secr model ‘object’, or the fitted user-defined function, if that was specified in secr.fit.

If ‘mask’ is NULL then predictions are for the mask component of ‘object’.

SE and confidence limits are computed only if specifically requested. They are not available for user-defined density functions.

Density is adjusted automatically for the number of clusters in ‘mashed’ models (see mash).

Value

Object of class ‘Dsurface’ inheriting from ‘mask’. Predicted densities are added to the covariate dataframe (attribute ‘covariates’) as column(s) with prefix ‘D.’ If the model uses multiple groups, multiple columns will be distinguished by the group name (e.g., "D.F" and "D.M"). If groups are not defined the column is named "D.0".

For multi-session models the value is a multi-session mask.

The pointwise prediction SE is saved as a covariate column prefixed ‘SE.’ (or multiple columns if multiple groups). Confidence limits are likewise saved with prefixes ‘lcl.’ and ‘ucl.’.
