Just another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS) is used to fit the Bayesian dynamic occupancy model to the data using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, and should be downloaded and installed from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/files/

Fitting the model takes approximately 1 hour.

The included Makefile describes all required steps to format the data, fit the statistical model and generate the tables and figures.
