Understanding Information Criteria for Selection among Capture-recapture or Ring Recovery Models
We provide background information to allow a heuristic understanding of two types of criteria used in selecting a model for making inferences from ringing data. The first type of criteria (e.g., AIC, AIC, QAIC and TIC) are estimates of (relative) Kullback-Leibler information or-distance and attempt to select a good approximating model for inference, based on the Principle of Parsimony. The seco...
متن کاملIntegrating Resource Selection Information with Spatial Capture-Recapture
11 1. Understanding space usage and resource selection is a primary focus of many studies 12 of animal populations. Usually, such studies are based on location data obtained from 13 telemetry, and resource selection functions (RSF) are used for inference. Another important 14 focus of wildlife research is estimation and modeling population size and density. Recently 15 developed spatial capture...
متن کاملMixture models for capture-recapture count data
The contribution investigates the problem of estimating the size of a population, also known as the missing cases problem. Suppose a registration system is targeting to identify all cases having a certain characteristic such as a specific disease (cancer, heart disease, ...), disease related condition (HIV, heroin use, ...) or a specific behavior (driving a car without license). Every case in s...
متن کاملConstant-parameter capture-recapture models.
Jolly (1982, Biometrics 38, 301-321) presented modifications of the Jolly-Seber model for capture-recapture data, which assume constant survival and/or capture rates. Where appropriate, because of the reduced number of parameters, these models lead to more efficient estimators than the Jolly-Seber model. The tests to compare models given by Jolly do not make complete use of the data, and we pre...
متن کاملUnderstanding predictive information criteria for Bayesian models
We review the Akaike, deviance, and Watanabe-Akaike information criteria from a Bayesian perspective, where the goal is to estimate expected out-of-sample-prediction error using a biascorrected adjustment of within-sample error. We focus on the choices involved in setting up these measures, and we compare them in three simple examples, one theoretical and two applied. The contribution of this p...
