R help - Nov 2010 - RMark error: only 0's may be mixed with negative subscripts

Hi all,

I have just started using RMark to analyse capture-recapture data. I am
trying to analyse a simulated data set using the Robust Design (two primary
periods with three secondary sessions in each) to estimate apparent
survival. On specifying the time intervals (that tell R about the primary
and secondary sampling sessions), this is the error I get:
> time.int <- c(0,0,1,0,0)
> model <- mark(dat, model = "Robust", time.intervals =
time.int)
Error in time.intervals[1:(i - 1)] :
  only 0's may be mixed with negative subscripts

This is what I tried to do overall:

###################

library(RMark)

dat <- import.chdata("/home/umesh/Desktop/capture history.txt")
head(dat)

time.int <- c(0,0,1,0,0)
model <- mark(dat, model = "Robust", time.intervals = time.int)

###################

I am attaching the simulated capture histories in the file 'capture
history.txt' as well if that will help.

Thanks in advance,

Umesh-

You should contact the package maintainer or a SIG with a question about 
a package.  RMark isn't posted on CRAN so it is unlikely most folks will 
even know about it.  There is a support forum for MARK and RMark on the 
phidot site where you got them.  I'll look at your data and problem and 
will get back to you.  I suggest that you subscribe to the phidot forum.
