Using informative priors to account for identifiability issues in occupancy models with identification errors by Monchy, Célian, Etienne, Marie-Pierre, Gimenez, Olivier

“…Similar to other recent attempts to account for false positives, our model may suffer from identifiability issues, which usually require another source of data with perfect identification to resolve them. As an alternative when such data are unavailable, we propose leveraging existing knowledge of the identification process within a Bayesian framework by incorporating this knowledge through an informative prior. …”
