Program CNVMEMOV

CNVMEMOV - Converts capture-history data into MSSURVIV input and generates some sample model statements.

Program CNVMEMOV - Converts "Capture-history" data into MSSURVIV input data Date compiled: 1/23/98 Programmer: James E. Hines Biological Research Div., USGS 11510 American Holly Dr. #201 Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Laurel, MD. 20708-4017 email: jim_hines%40usgs.gov Version 2.0 - added capability for >2 age-classes added capability for >1 group ** Note: The order of age-classes in old version was ADULT followed by YOUNG. In this version the order must be from youngest to oldest. ** Also: The old version used "GROUP" as a synonym of "STRATA". (That was stupid!) In this version "STRATA" are the transitional states and "GROUPS" are the separate classification of animals to/from which animals cannot move. Examples of STRATA might be location, breeding-status, weight-class. Examples of GROUP might be sex, species.

Choose a model set:

Memory-Movement model set w/ PHI parameterization

Movement only model set w/ PHI parameterization

Memory-Movement model set w/ S-M parameterization

Movement only model set w/ S-M parameterization


For the S-M parameterization, one of the movement parameters must be replaced by the survival parameter. Choose 0 to replace the diagonal parameter (probability of returning to a strata), or one of the N strata
