Abstract
One of the simplest ways of estimating a resource selection probability function involves taking a census of the used and unused units in a population of resource units, and estimating a logistic function for the probability of use as a function of variables that are measured on the units. This approach is discussed in this chapter, and is illustrated using data on the selection of winter habitat by antelope.
