what type of distribution should be used when modeling the window counts. neg_bin is a standard negative binomial distribution. neg_bin2 is a more flexible version of a negative binomial, allowing the mean-variance relationship to take different forms. pois is a Poisson distribution. quasi_pois is the quasi-Poisson distribution. log_space assumes that the window counts have normal errors in log-space.
should an estimate of escapement based on the adult fish trap rate be used as a second observation of true total escapement, together with the window counts? Default is TRUE. If FALSE, win_model is automatically set to pois.
