[Basta-users] difficulty with CensusToCaptHist

[Owen Jones]

Hi Shafkat,

That looks like a bug.
I’ll investigate and get back to you ASAP.

In the meantime you could simply replace the ID with the rowname.
i.e.

x$ID <- rownames(x)


Best wishes,
Owen

Hello:

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.

     ID 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
1     1    0    0    1    1    1    0    1    0    1
10    2    0    0    0    0    1    0    1    0    1
100   3    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0
101   4    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0
102   5    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0
103   6    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0
104   7    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0
105   8    0    0    1    0    0    0    0    0    0

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.

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!
