Good day,
I have been working on an R package to analyse (multispecies) camera trap data in an occupancy framework, using Stan. The function takes camtrapDB deployments and observations data by default. So far, some of the datasets that I have used in my work have long deployment periods, which often contain periods of camera failures (e.g., due to dead batteries, camera malfunctions, etc.). I now consider this to be a fairly critical piece of information, that I have incorporated with an additional data structure to be passed to the model, of the form:
> failures
# A tibble: 3 × 3
deploymentID failureStart failureEnd
<chr> <date> <date>
1 cam01 2026-01-01 2026-01-06
2 cam01 2026-02-03 2026-02-07
3 cam02 2026-01-04 2026-01-07
where each row corresponds to a failure period associated with a deploymentID. Is it possible this data structure, or something like it that analogously recoreds the failure periods, can be included in the camtrapDB format?
Cheers,
Matt
