Assessing heterogeneity in transition propensity in multistate capture-recapture data

摘要: Multistate capture-recapture models are a useful tool to help understand the dynamics of movement within discrete data.The standard multistate model, however, relies on assumptions homogeneity population with respect survival, capture and transition probabilities. There many ways in which this model can be generalized so some guidance what is really needed highly desirable. Within paper we derive new test that detect heterogeneity propensity show its good power by using simulation application Canada goose data set. We also demonstrate existing tests have traditionally been used diagnose memory fact sensitive other forms propose modified distinguish between heterogeneity.
