TMSURVIV User's Manual

Program TMSURVIV (Transient-Model-SURVIVal analysis) computes parameter estimates of
survival and capture probability and proportions of "residents" under the Jolly-Seber models described
in "Capture-Recapture Survival Models Taking Account of Transients" (Pradel et. al., 1997). Actually,
TMSURVIV is a specially modified version of Dr. G. White's program SURVIV (White, 1983) which
incorporates the transient models. With this program and it's companion program, CNVTMSRV, users
are able to get parameter estimates for these complex models from capture-history data without
having to specify the cell probabilities.
