Description
Common ecological distributions for 'nimble' models in the form of nimbleFunction objects. Includes Cormack-Jolly-Seber, occupancy, dynamic occupancy, hidden Markov, dynamic hidden Markov, and N-mixture models.

Distributions for Ecological Models in 'nimble'
This repository provides user-defined distributions that can be used in NIMBLE models for common population ecology statistical models. These include distributions for:
- basic capture-recapture distributions (Cormack-Jolly-Seber),
- hidden Markov model distributions for multi-state and multi-event capture-recapture models,
- occupancy models,
- dynamic occupancy models, and
- N-mixture models.
Community contributions or suggestions for other needs are welcome.
Some of these models were used (in slightly different forms) in:
