Summary
Assessing the quality of fit of a statistical model to data is a necessary step for conducting safe inference.
We introduce R2ucare, an R package to perform goodness-of-fit tests for open single-and multi-state capture-recapture models. R2ucare also has various functions to manipulate capture-recapture data.
We remind the basics and provide guidelines to navigate towards testing the fit of capture-recapture models. We demonstrate the functionality of R2ucare through its application to real data.
