<html><head></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Cliff,<div><br></div><div> We are woking on adding up a function that takes all the data (individual history matrix, covariates, times of birth and death) and puts it together in the right format. At this point, the easiest way is to use the R function merge to 'collate' all the tables using the ID columns as the common columns. For example, let's say that the birth and death matrix is bd and the capture history matrix is Y, to merge them you could type into the R console:</div><div><br></div><div> new.mat <- merge(x = bd, y = Y, by.x = bd$ID, by.y = bd$ID)</div><div><br></div><div> This "new.mat" can then be used as the basic data frame for the BaSTA analysis. One thing to keep in mind is that it will need the individual id's in the first column. </div><div><br></div><div> Best,</div><div><br></div><div> Fernando</div><div><div>
