I am currently using the unmarked package in R to estimate factors influencing occupancy and detection for the common opossum.
In some papers, i see the covariate delta β, however not in others. Whether the covariate/s positively or negatively affect occupancy or detection rates.
How/where do I obtain this value?????
Example information from occupancy model and back Transform function.
Model plotting:
Call:
occu(formula = ~Trail + Elevation ~ 1, data = wt)
Occupancy:
Estimate SE z P(>|z|)

Detection:

Elevation -0.000428 0.00091 -0.471 0.63776
AIC: 362.2496
backTransform function:
