Individual covariate models

[annaren]

Dear All
I have another question regardind using covariates - sorry!
I have a model Phi (m+s+t+ m*cov) P(.) where m=transience, s=sex,t=time and a covariate width.

I have run the model and all well but when I plot the individual covariate plot and look at the output in excel the values in the covariate column are broken down into many more intervals that are in my data, i.e my covariate has 14 differnet values ranging from 0.93-13.67 but MARK breaks this down into 101 intervals. I have not standardized my variables but allowed MARK to automatically scale them.

Additionally when I specify the value of the covariate using the user defined button and look at the parameters estimates they are not the same as the values given when I look at the individual covariate plots, i.e Phi 1 = 0.29 but looking at the covariate plot for width =13 Phi 1 = 0.399.

I hope someone can help me solve this confusion.
Thanks,
Anna

Anyone able to help me on this one?
