cjs_delta function

HMM Initial state distribution functions

Functions that compute the initial probability distribution for the states. Currently only CJS, MS models and MS models with state uncertainty are included and these all use cjs_delta to assign a known state.

cjs_delta(pars, m, F, T, start)

Arguments

• pars: list of real parameter matrices (id by occasion) for each type of parameter
• m: number of states
• F: initial occasion vector
• T: number of occasions
• start: matrix with values that are first occasion and for some CJS type models the state of first observation

Returns

2-d array of initial state probability vectors for each id
