Hi all,
Does PRESENCE have a way of outputting c-hat for Royle 2004 abundance models (aka Repeated Count Data: Royle Biometrics in PRESENCE terms)?
I'm pretty sure PRESENCE isn't able to do GOF tests for Royle 2004, as per 'assess model fit' in the single-season single-species MacKenzie et al 2002 model. I know that it is possible to test GOF for Royle 2004 models but I think this needs to be done in R/WinBUGS. I thought a temporary work-around would be to base my model selection on QAIC/QAICc rather than AIC/AICc - does this sound reasonable? Unfortunately to generate my QAIC terms I would need a c-hat value - fingers crossed it's possible to obtain it from PRESENCE.
Cheers,
Paul
