Known Fate

The data coding for the known fate model requires a 1 in the L part of the encounter history for every occasion that the animal is alive at the start of the interval and its fate is known through the interval. A 10 means the animal lived through the interval, and a 11 means the animal died during the interval. There is no code of 01 allowed in the known fate model -- this means that the animal was not alive at the start of the interval, so could not have died. To censor an animal for an interval where you don't know what was happening, use the 00 code. Thus, the encounter history 00101000101100 means that the animal lived through intervals 2 and 3, was censored for interval 4, lived through 5, and died in interval 6.

Note that the Known Fate model is different than the Nest Survival model.
