Chapter 15: models for search-encounter data

These are more computationally challenging than many of the previous models. There may be opportunities to reparameterize.

1. Fixed search path. See fixed-search-path.R, which models detections along a fixed search path, and allows the instantaneous locations of animals to vary by occasion around individual-specific activity centers.

2. Uniform search intensity. See rw-uniform-search.R for an example where individual locations are modeled as evolving through time by random walks.
