Hey everyone,
I am having issues with the unmarked package. I am trying to code unmarkedMultFrame (y=y, siteCovs=siteCovs, obsCovs=obsCovs, numPrimary=2) but it is not working.
Y and siteCovs both work fine, but the obsCovs (which is survey data, 5 reps) will not bind properly. According to the tutorial, I need to turn my data into a matrix, then put them into a list. However, the list causes my dimensions to change from 44 (like Y and siteCovs) to 2 as it will not differentiate between the two lists.
Code:
det.covA <- as.matrix(data.frame(det.covA))
det.covB <- as.matrix(data.frame(det.covB))
beavermf <- unmarkedMultFrame(y, siteCovs=site.cov.2s, obsCovs=list(det.covB,det.covA), numPrimary=2)
Error:
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
At least one element of obsCovs has incorrect number of dimensions.
I've also tried forgoing the list and using data.frame instead but still get an error.
Code:
beavermf <- unmarkedMultFrame(y, siteCovs=site.cov.2s, obsCovs=data.frame(det.covB,det.covA), numPrimary=2)
Error:
Error in validObject(.Object) :
invalid class “unmarkedFrame” object: obsCovData does not have M*obsNum rows.
I have been unable to find any other way of writing this code. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
