Description

The file OpenBUGS_model_code.txt contains the OpenBUGS script that applies a von Bertalanffy growth model to predict the age of African dwarf crocodiles from measurements collected in a capture-recapture study, from young animals of unknown age captured only once and from a few known-age animals.
