I would like to put survey specific quantitative covariates into a single-season model in PRESENCE (e.g. temperature). Most are detection covariates, and some are occupancy ones.
I am not sure how to go about putting quantitative variables into the design matrix - the examples given are all for categorical ones. Do I simply put the relevant number into the appropriate position in the table, instead of 1 or 0?
Some of the measurements (e.g. grass height) are specific to both the survey occasion and the site - does this mean that I would need to treat each individual survey as a separate repeat occasion (with the rest of the sites as missing values for that column)?
