Chapter 3 Modeling Individual Animal Histories with Multistate Capture–Recapture Models (2009, background): “…models, with refined algorithms (analytic gradient, improved rank calculations to determine the number and nature of identifiable parameters following Gimenez et al. (2003), fast calculations) and a model definition language that makes it possible to set up complex models easily and reliably.”
Multievent: An Extension of Multistate Capture–Recapture Models to Uncertain States (2005, methodology): “Their application to multistate models relied on the product multinomial structure embodied in the m-array summarization of the data ( Gimenez, Choquet, and Lebreton, 2003 ).”
Testing the additive versus the compensatory hypothesis of mortality from ring recovery data using a random effects model (2004, methodology): “…de la identificabilidad intrínseca de los modelos de causas de mortalidad empleados en nuestro estudio (tabla 2), obtenidos mediante el empleo de métodos algebraicos asistidos por ordenador (Giménez et al., 2003). t indica la dependencia del tiempo, mientras que k es el número de casos de captura.”
Estimating predation on breeding European storm‐petrels (Hydrobates pelagicus) by yellow‐legged gulls (Larus michahellis) (2005, background): “In models with trap-dependence on recapture probability varying over time (pm∗t), no parameter is separately identifiable (Pradel, 1993; Gimenez, Choquet & Lebreton, 2003 ).”
Handbook of Capture-Recapture Analysis (2010, methodology): “…may also not be estimable because of sparse data, e.g., when there are no recoveries in any stratum at time i or no releases in a stratum at time i. Gimenez et al. (2003) have created a software package that identifies nonidentifiable parameters using a symbolic algebra package following earlier…”
ASSESSING THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF MORTALITY FROM RECOVERIES OF MARKED ANIMALS (2004, background): “Our most general model is still not full rank as checked with computer algebra (Catchpole and Morgan 1997, Catchpole et al. 2002, Gimenez et al. 2003), meaning that some parameters are not separately identifiable.”
