[Basta-users] Analysis without missing values

[Felix Zajitschek]

Hi,

first thanks for this very promising package!

I plan on using it on a data set that includes unknown birth and death 
dates, but for now I tried it out with data for which all birth and 
death events are known. I'm getting errors (see below) and wanted to ask 
whether it should be able to use Basta for this kind of data (without 
any reproducible example for the moment)?

Best regards,
Felix

Output from data check:

The following rows have observations that occur after the year of death:
   [1]   1  to 563 (i.e. all rows)
Observations that post-date year of death have been removed.

*DataSummary*
- Number of individuals         =     563
- Number with known birth year  =     563
- Number with known death year  =     558
- Number with known birth
  AND death years                =     558

- Total number of detections
  in recapture matrix            = 2,171.824

- Earliest detection time       =       1
- Latest detection time         = 110494.8
- Earliest recorded birth year  =       1
- Latest recorded birth year    =       1
- Earliest recorded death year  =       1
- Latest recorded death year    =       1

Sample of one individual with birth=1 and death=7 (Y.1 is at the end of 
the recap history variables):
