Principles and interest of GOF tests for multistate capture-recapture models

Principios e interes de los test Bondad de Ajuste (GOF) para los modelos de captura?recaptura multiestado.? Los procedimientos optimos de bondad de ajuste, aplicados a los modelos multiestado, son nuevos. Trazando un paralelismo con los correspondientes procesos de uniestado, presentamos sus particularidades y mostramos como el test general puede descomponerse en componentes susceptibles de ser interpretados. Todos los desarrollos teoricos estan ilustrados con una aplicacion del ya clasico estudio de los desplazamientos de la barnacla canadiense entre sus lugares de invernada. Mediante esta aplicacion, presentamos un ejemplo de como los componentes susceptibles de ser interpretados nos proporcionan una idea de los datos que nos pueden llevar a la eleccion de un modelo general apropiado, pero tambien a veces a la invalidacion de los modelos de multiestados en su conjunto. Se menciona entonces el metodo para calcular un factor de correccion de la sobredispersion. Aprovechamos esta ocasion para intentar tambien desmitificar algunas nociones estadisticas, como las Estadisticas Suficientes Minimas, introduciendolas intuitivamente. La conclusion es que estas pruebas deberian considerarse una parte importante del propio analisis, contribuyendo a la comprension de los datos, de un modo que el modelaje parametrico no siempre consigue.
