TMSURVIV- computes parameter estimates of survival and capture probability and proportions of ''residents'' under the Jolly-Seber models described in ''Capture-Recapture Survival Models Taking Account of Transients''

Program TMSURVIV (Transient-Model-SURVIVal analysis) computes parameter estimates of survival and capture probability and proportions of ''residents'' under the Jolly-Seber models described in ''Capture-Recapture Survival Models Taking Account of Transients'' (Pradel et. al., 1997). Actually, TMSURVIV is a specially modified version of Dr. G. White's program SURVIV (White, 1983) which incorporates the transient models. With this program and it's companion program, CNVTMSRV, users are able to get parameter estimates for these complex models from capture-history data without having to specify the cell probabilities.
