Hello.
I am using MARK and I am using rdsurviv to estimate overdispersion on about 24 study sites. For some of these sites, chat < 0 (0.003, 0.69, 0.3908). I also have one site where chat=0.9482.
How close to 1 does the chat estimate have to be to be used? For the value of 0.003, I realize I probably don't have enough data for this model, but what about for the other 2 values?
Do I need to adjust my models in MARK with the chat value of 0.94?
I am also sometimes getting an error-return value of 130. Does my chat value correct for this problem?
Thanks.
