Hi Phidot group,
I am working on snow leopard occupancy estimate using camera trap data of Nepal. I have 33 sites which are grids of 16 sq km and have one detector (camera trap) each in one site. Out of 297 occasions I have 21 occasions of capture. I used three covariates which are encounter rates of wild prey and livestock and the potential habitat of each sites in sq km. The top model came out to be a combination of Wild prey and potential habitat for occupancy and potential habitat for detection. The only problem I'm facing with is, in some of the sites out of 33 generated psi estimate of 33 sites, I have psi estimate of 1 with SE 0 and CI 0-1.
I looked at the data as well and generally those sites which have higher detection have psi value of 1 generated.
Is this a concern that I should be worried about? What should I do? Your words will be very valuable for me as I have looked over many literature and books but I still couldn't find this issue. Please forgive me if this has been discussed before as I looked into the earlier discussed questions as well but couldn't find the exact question and only related ones.
Thank you for your patience and time,
Best wishes,
Samundra
