Uniform key function

Description

This function provides the uniform key function for model fitting in distance sampling.

Usage

uniform_key(x, w)

Arguments

x	vector of perpendicular distances from the transect.
w	half width of the strip transect.

Details

This is the uniform key function with parameter sigma. Its expression is given by

g(x) = \frac{1}{w},

for x > 0.

Value

A numeric value corresponding to a given value of x and w.
