Simulation True Model Fixed Parameters

[TGrant]

Hi All,

I am running some simulations in MARK using the robust design occupancy model.

Under the true model tab, there is an option to fix parameters. What does this do exactly? It would seem to me the parameters are already "fixed" in the true model because they are what they are.

It doesn't do anything, for just the reason you'd surmised. If you'd actually tried to fix something, you would have confirmed this for yourself.
