SURPH Probabilities

The SURPH probabilities are the probabilities of interest in a SURPH model. Specifically, they are:

• The survival probabilities for known-fate studies.
• The survival probabilities, as well as the detection probabilities and the final product probabilities for release-recapture studies.

The SURPH probabilities are modeled as a function of the model parameters and the covariate values. The functional relationship of the parameters and covariates to the resulting SURPH probabilities is defined by the link function.
