In DSpat: Spatial Modelling for Distance Sampling Data

Description

Usage

data(weeds.obs)

Format

A data frame with 479 observations on the following 4 variables.

label

Details

These are the data constructed from weeds that were provided by Melville and Welsh (see reference below) that were used in the Biometrics paper on distance sampling.

The code used to create the data from weeds was as follows:

data(weeds.all)
weeds.obs=weeds.all[weeds.all$Seen==1,]
weeds.obs$Seen=NULL
save(weeds.obs,file="weeds.obs.rda")
