Fitting and Interpreting Occupancy Models
Figure 8
Simulation results for fitting logistic occupancy models that ignore the possibility of non-detection.
The first row shows results for an ideal situation, the second for sparse data and the third for when detection depends on abundance so the rows should be compared with Figures 4, 5 and 6 respectively. The first column shows fitted logistic curves for occupancy for the first samples. The samples with positive/negative fitted relationships between occupancy and years since planting the surrounding Radiata pine are shown in blue/green; the true relationship is shown in black. The second column shows boxplots of the fitted values for occupancy for each year since planting; the true relationship is again shown as a black curve.
