Question on survivorship for pre-emergence<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to run analyse a data set with BaSTA but running to a problem
whenever I tried to constrain recapture probabilities and or run more than one
simulation. It runs perfectly when either is not included. I would appreciate
any help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Histories<- read.csv("Histories1.csv", header = TRUE)</DIV>
<DIV><BR>newData<-DataCheck(Histories,studyStart=1988, studyEnd=2000,
autofix=rep(1,7), silent = TRUE) #checking for errors</DIV>
<DIV><BR>rawCovMat<- read.csv("SexAndFarmType.csv", header = TRUE) #inputting
covariates</DIV>
<DIV><BR>covMat <- MakeCovMat(x = c("sex", "farm"), data = rawCovMat)
#constructing the covariate matrix for BaSTA, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>inputMat <- as.data.frame(cbind(Histories, covMat[, -1]))
#merging capture histories with covariates<BR></DIV>
<DIV>out<-basta(object=inputMat,studyStart=1988,studyEnd=2000) #model runs
perfectly</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As soon as I add recaptTrans or try multiple simulations then I get an
error message:</DIV>
<DIV>the error message says: Error in `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value =
"pi[1987]") : <BR> length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array
extent</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>out<-basta(object=inputMat,studyStart=1987,studyEnd=2000, model = "WE",
shape = "simple", minAge = 1, recaptTrans = c(1987, 1995)) # error
message<BR></DIV>
<DIV>out <- basta(object = inputMat, studyStart = 1987, studyEnd = 2000,
recaptTrans = c(1987, 1995), model = "GO", shape = "simple", niter = 1000,
burnin = 100, thinning = 10, nsim = 2) # error message</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>No problems were detected with the data. # data check </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am busy sorting out my data to run with BaSTA. I have a question. In
most cases no data in available for pre-emergence litters. How does BaSTA
handles this? Or is it similar to ways previously used like in
life-tables?</DIV>
