Hello everyone,
I am currently predicting abundances across four sites with an N-mixture model calibrated with two raster covariates. At each of these sites, I plotted a large number of points (~10,000), extracted the raster values, and then produced an expected abundance prediction at each point. I now wish to average these predictions within sites. However, I am unsure of the most statistically rigorous way to do this to ensure the SEs propagate appropriately, and unfortunately, none of the discussions I've found online have been very helpful. I was hoping that this group could provide some good insight and discussion (as it always does).
Thanks in advance for your help, and I'm looking forward to your suggestions.
Best,
Tyler
