[Basta-users] One in the recapture matrix in birth year

[Fernando Colchero]

Hi Adam,

   I'm a bit puzzled by your problem, maybe you could send me a subset of your data (if you want the first 10 rows) and the code you're using so I can check why this is happening. There might be a bug in the code or maybe there's something particular in the data. 

   Best,

   Fernando

I receive the message "The following rows have a one in the recapture matrix in the birth year: (ALL THE ROWS OF MY DATAFRAME are then listed". Having removed the birth year of all individuals from their capture history (corresponding to censusMat in the tutorial, for instance), the error still appears, even though the collated dataset, which combines the capture history, covariates and birth and death dates clearly shows a "0" in the birth year of all individuals in the capture records. The fact that the error apparently applies to every row of the data indicates to me that it's a silly error on my part, but I genuinely cannot see one. I wonder if anyone else has come across a similar problem and has any advice- I'd be very grateful.
