Bring in the Data and Process it

Here, the data are for imaginary swamp squirrels. There are data for 6 sampling occasions and for 2 groups: squirrels first captured when they were juveniles or when they were older. There are also 2 continuous covariates: birth (birth date) and tail (tail length). The code creates tail length squared and provides information on precipitation levels during capture work each year, which might have affected capture probability (p).

  # NOTE: to avoid having all the output for each model appear when you
  # call the function, add ', output=FALSE' after 'ddl=sq.ddl' below.

Run the Models

The code below runs all combinations of structures in the function for \(\phi\) and \(p\). The code also produces a model-selection table.

Plot phi versus tail length: make the plot

Here, you can see how to make the plot using the ‘ggplot2’ package

pred = pred.top$estimates
# use parameter index to create age_class variable
pred$age_class = ifelse(pred$par.index == 1, "juv", "older")
# Store information on birth date values
pred$birthdate = ifelse(pred$birth == mean(sq$birth), "b - bd_avg",
    ifelse(pred$birth == quantile(sq$birth, 0.05), "a - bd_.05",
           "c - bd_.95"))
# build and store the plot in object 'p'
ggplot(pred, aes(x = tail, y = estimate, group = age_class)) + 
  geom_line(aes(color = age_class), size = 1.5) + 
  geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = lcl, ymax = ucl), alpha = 0.2) + 
    xlab("Tail Length") + ylab("Apparent Survival Rate") +
    ylim(0, 1) + facet_wrap( ~ birthdate) +
  theme(legend.position="top")
