Variable covariates

[Ryan Fisher]

Hi there,

In reading the "Gentle Introduction to progam MARK" I found reference to variable covariates (i.e. I'm assuming covariates that would vary from year to year for an individual, such as clutch size, number of young fledged). In the Gentle Intro. they say that these types of variables would be discussed later (page 12-3), however I cannot find any more reference to this type of analysis after that one brief sentence. Is it possible to use variable covariates in program MARK?

Thanks,
Ryan

in the mark help menue you can find - Individual covariates - scroll down and you will find - time varying individual covariates - and a description how to use them.

Hope that helps
