Welcome to BayesSurv project!

This package estimates mortality with covariates from capture-recapture/recovery data in a Bayesian framework when many individuals are of unknown age. It includes tools for data checking, model diagnostics and outputs such as life-tables and plots.

This package implements the methods presented in Colchero and Clark 2011 Bayesian inference on age-specific survival from capture-recapture data for censored and truncated data. Journal of Animal Ecology.

The developers are Fernando Colchero, Maren Rebke and Owen Jones, all based at the Max Planck Institute for Demorgraphic Research in Rostock.
