Hi Shafkat,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That looks like a bug. </div>
<div>I’ll investigate and get back to you ASAP.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the meantime you could simply replace the ID with the rowname.</div>
<div>i.e.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>x$ID <- rownames(x)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>

<div style="font-size:12.8px">I've been trying to use CensusToCaptHist function on a dataset. Upon converting the detection dataset that I have (with ID and Date (of detection) as column header, the resulting matrix attributes seemingly new IDs to
the existing record. E.g.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">
<div> ID 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017</div>
<div>1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1</div>
<div>10 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1</div>
<div>100 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div>101 4 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div>102 5 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div>103 6 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div>104 7 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div>105 8 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here, the ID I had listed in the census file doesn't match up with the output matrix IDs. For example, the second record, the ID #10 from the input file gets relabelled as ID # 2 in the output, which doesn't match the birth/death file I have with
the initial IDs. Subsequently, the Datacheck results in an error message, which basically says that a bunch of the IDs have measurements after death or before birth, which I imagine is from being mismatched with original IDs. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a bug in the program? Or am I missing something? I formatted the datasets pretty much after the BaSTA users guide/vignette. I'm using the version 1.9.4 that I downloaded from the website and I'm using Rstudio. I have checked my data several
times so that birthdeath and the detection/census files agree on dates when a given individual is alive/detected. Any help is much appreciated!</div>
