Code used in my research

Data requirements for an occupancy study in the diverse tropics 

Objective: To determine how many sites to survey and how many surveys per site is adequate in a diverse community
Code: Learn to simulate and analyze data for species that range in occupancy and detection probability

Multi-state disease structured N-mixture model

Objective: To estimate survival and population growth for a population of unmarked individuals that differ in infection status
Code: Learn to simulate and analyze data for a stage-structured (i.e., age, size, sex, or any other discrete category) population when marking individuals is not possible

Multi-state Jolly-Seber model

 Objective: To estimate survival and population growth for a population of marked individuals that differ in infection status
Code: Learn to simulate and analyze capture-mark-recapture data for a stage-structured (i.e., age, size, sex, or any other discrete category) population
