RMark formatting for CJS with removals

[rdanner]

Dear community,

I'm running a CJS model in RMark and am not sure how to deal with removals. I have a separate line (row) for each individual along with covariates and treatments, which works fine without considering removals.

In MARK, to indicate removals, you make the group value negative, as in the fourth individual below:
00101 1;
00100 1;
00100 1;
00111 -1;
00100 1;

Any ideas on how to do this in RMark? I've RTFMs and searched the discussion boards, and can't find anything.

Thanks in advance,
Ray

Data formatting for RMark is the same as for MARK because it is sending the data to MARK for analysis. If you use convert.inp to convert an existing MARK inp file it should extract the frequencies and will send the + and - values to MARK. If you are using the RMark data structure to enter your data then you only need to add a freq field with the +1/-1 values as appropriate. Let me know if you have any problems with that.
