Data from: Multispecies site occupancy modeling and study design for spatially replicated environmental DNA metabarcoding

Although environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become widely applied
to gauge ecosystems in a noninvasive and cost-efficient manner, false
negatives can occur due to various factors in its inherent multistage
workflow. It is therefore essential to deal with this kind of species
detection errors in eDNA metabarcoding to achieve accurate assessment of
species distribution and diversity. To address this issue, we proposed a
variant of the multispecies site occupancy model for eDNA metabarcoding
studies and applied it to an eDNA metabarcoding dataset of freshwater fish
communities collected in the Kasumigaura watershed in Japan.
