We use a spatial mark–resight model that incorporates site-level heterogeneity in movement via a hierarchical process and prior information to estimate the density of a threatened carnivore (fosa, Cryptoprocta ferox) from multiple sparse datasets collected during extensive camera trapping surveys in northeastern Madagascar (2008–2015).
[27]. Northrup, J and Gerber, BD. 2018. A comment on Bayesian occupancy priors. PLOS ONE, 13, e0192819.
We report how the specification of a “vague” normally distributed (i.e., Gaussian) prior on coefficients in Bayesian occupancy models can unintentionally influence parameter estimation. Using both simulated data and empirical examples, we illustrate how this issue likely compromises inference about species-habitat relationships.
Check out the ShinyApp to explore how different priors can influence posterior distributions:
