Accounting for misidentifications in dynamic occupancy models.
For my master degree, I did an internship with Julie Louvrier and Olivier Gimenez at the CEFE - CNRS, in Montpellier, France.
This project was a part of Julie’s PhD that aimed at mapping large carnivores distribution. Wolf monitoring in France is based on opportunistic data. Then, an important proportion of collected data are classified as “uncertain”. Uncertain data can be false-positive detections where wolf are misidentified. We extended the dynamic occupancy model of Julie’s paper, to account for uncertain data in the estimation of wolf recolonization.
