nest suvival graph

Postby mcallen » Tue Dec 15, 2009 3:13 pm

How does one make a graph like the one on page 17-18 of the MARK "gentle introduction" book (section 17.5)?

It isn't described in chapter text.

That's because that particular graph (as shown in the book) wasn't generated by MARK. You can do it in RMark (I suspect - see Appendix C in the book), or by exporting what you need (betas, etc) and generating the graph external to MARK - either using R, or some other graphics tool.

This may be more of a stats question, but:

is there a formula to generate CI curves for fitted values based only on the parameters estimates and CIs?

alternatively, can the curves be extracted from MARK (or RMark)?

Thx, I believe that I have figured it out. However, my x axis still has no labels!

Is there a section in the book (or somewhere) that deals with graphing in MARK?

Jay Rotella just reminded me of the following:


"The example for nest survival data in RMark provides the code to make graphs of fitted values for various covariate conditions and shows how to plot CIs as well. To find the example, one can type "?mallard" after loading RMark..."
