Using partial aggregation in spatial capture recapture

Spatial capture–recapture ( SCR ) models are commonly used for analysing data collected using noninvasive genetic sampling ( NGS ). Opportunistic NGS often leads to detections that do not occur at discrete detector locations. Therefore, spatial aggregation of individual detections into fixed detectors (e.g., centre of grid cells) is an option to increase computing speed of SCR analyses. However, it may reduce precision and accuracy of parameter...
