Nest Survival: Encounter history must consist of '10'

Postby bacollier » Mon Jun 24, 2019 1:57 pm

Afternoon all,
Putting this up here in case someone else has it happen and so there is a record of my failure today.

When I try to set up a nest survival analysis in MARK GUI (see version below in output), I am getting the ERROR -- Encounter history must consist of only these characters: '10'.

So, I set up a simple run, named nothing, just load and go (29 sample occasions, 1 group, 117 covariates, lots of "." for when the individual is not longer in data frame due to mortality).

At first I thought it might be an embedded \t (tab) issue in the .inp as I have read FAQ 9 and 9(b), so I reinstalled to newest MARK and then I took all the \t our in Notepad ++, then I copied the entire datafile out and put it into a clean sheet, no \t (tab) anymore showing just spaces--still got error.

Did a bit of searching, when I go to data input listing, it looks like the '1' at the front end of the enc hist is cut off (for this analysis, all individuals start on day 1), not sure why but it is consistent for all enc hist as I 'ok' through them (PS: Gary, you might consider a hard exit here, if you get stuck in this window you have to either ok through every row of data and get yelled at by MARK [which may be your intention] or Task-Manager end task to get out).

So, I am admittedly a bit stumped, and it is probably something I am not seeing, so any advice on where to head next would be useful.

Nevermind, I got it solved. The most important line "Nest survival group=1;" got deleted during my cleaning the file various ways.

Sorry for wasted bandwidth.
