- Compressed R data file with the encounter histories, trap coordinates, and trap operational status information.
- GeoTiff spatial layer defining the state space.
- Compute summary statistics and create maps of the detection locations, referenced by year, for each bear.
-
Fit the model with the lowest WAIC score. The other models were run on the UGA cluster. That code is not included here.
