v0.6.0
spOccupancy v0.6.0 incorporates new functionality to fit a non-spatial integrated multi-species occupancy model using the function intMsPGOcc()
. This fits a single-season version of the "intgrated community occupancy model" from Doser et al. 2022. The function intMsPGOcc()
should be considered experimental and is still under development. We have done adequate testing of the function and users can be confident the resulting estimates are correct. Rather, we consider this "experimental" because it lacks all the functionality currently supported for other spOccupancy
model types. In particular, intMsPGOcc
model objects do not currently work with ppcOcc()
(posterior predictive checks), fitted()
(generated fitted values), or k-fold cross-validation, and there may be specific data set situations that cause the function to break. Please contact us if you use the function and have any feedback or run into any problems. We are in active development of the associated spatial versions of the function (both without spatial factors and with spatial factors), as well as the above mentioned limitations. intMsPGOcc()
does not currently support random effects in the detection models, which we are actively working on.
