  1. The parameter estimates (means and 95% PCIs) for each level of the occupancy model are given along with estimated average starting copy number per reaction (SCN/R) and starting copy number per liter (SCN/L). ψ = sample event (days) occupancy probability, θ = per sample detection probability, p = Per qPCR detection probability
