export.MARK problem with nests data

[Eldar]

I cannot run export.MARK with nests survival data as function is looking for x$data$ch - and I have no "ch" column for this data type.
How can I work around it?

Hmm. I'll have to look at it. It is one of those data types that does not fit the typical mold which is why I had to write a separate input module for it. It will likely require the same thing on the other end. I'm also not sure how to write the .Rinp file for MARK so I'll have to ask Gary about that. One workaround is to use your existing .inp file and create your own .dbf with MARK. Then rename all of your existing output files to the way MARK needs them. Just run a dipper example to see how they are renamed. Then you can import the models via an option in MARK on the menu Output/Append. Sorry but that is the only way at present. It is a bit of a nuisance model for me. There are actually good ways to analyze nest survival data with std statistical software other than MARK.

Clearly I'm quickly becoming a senile old man. Jay Rotella nicely reminded me that I made some changes to export.MARK to accomodate nest survival models. Turns out another change I made to this function broke that fix. I just fixed and tested with 4 different model types including CJS, nest survival, multistrata, and robust. I'll add more test code in the future to avoid (hopefully) this type of issue.
