Actually, allowing for standard dates in the birth-death matrix is something that we hadn't considered. Unfortunately we don't have that in our coming functions but It's definitely something worth including. Thanks for the suggestion. What we are working on is to allow BaSTA to take not only discrete time intervals but also continuous. It's still a work in progress but we'll post a message to the mailing list as soon as we're done with it. Also, we will keep posting announcements on the BaSTA webpage:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://basta.r-forge.r-project.org/">http://basta.r-forge.r-project.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div> Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. </div><div><br></div><div> Best,</div><div><br></div><div> Fernando<br><div>

My first little problem concerns the use of tine intervals other than years.<br><br>The function CensusToCaptHist allows the user to nicely set the interval time to "M" for months for instance, and then your matrix of observations nicely show one column for each month between the starting date and the end date (even if no observation are made within a month).<br>
<br>My question is how can you then build an appropriate birthDeath matrix? Off course I could program the same computation than the one done internally by CensusToCaptHist, but is there a beta function in BaSTA that could use directly a birthDeath matrix with birth and death date as POSIXlt (or POSIXct, not sure which one is which)?<br>
