I’m trying to run the Robust design-closed captures model for some mark recapture data on a spp of rat. The study was carried out over three months (each month a separate session), each session was run for 5 continuous nights. I have left the link function and Var.Estimation on their default values.
The confusion is with the output file-estimates of real parameters, the capture probability for the 5th and final night of each of the 3 sessions =1?
Also the population Estimates (N) are just the number of individuals captured for each session and not estimates?
I'm unsure if its the wrong model to use or whether theres a problem with the encounter histories file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
