Greetings Folks,
I am a new user to RMark and have a few questions... I am using a ten year data set (2011-2021) in an open CJS model for survival and capture probabilities of female saltmarsh sparrows and seaside sparrows. When I run the gof test I get an error. Code and error are as follows:
co_sp<-import.chdata("F_Species_Survival.txt", header=T)
co_sp.proc=process.data (co_sp,model="CJS",groups=c("Species", "Site", "Year", "Latitude"),begin.time=2011)
co_sp.ddl=make.design.data(co_sp.proc)
summary(co_sp)

RELEAS ERROR TERMINATION
Error in (x3 + 4):length(out) : argument of length 0
Any suggestions of how to work through this error?
Second question... Currently, I have 9 intervals and they are formatted as "in between the breeding season." For example, interval 1 = captures between April15th-April 29th, interval 2 = captures between April 30th-May 13th, interval 3 = captures between May 14th-May 28th, etc.. My question is, is it ok to have my intervals formatted as "in between the breeding season" or will RMark treat these intervals as years? I ask because I am using year as a covariate.
Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
