integrateKey: Compute and print distance function integration

In Rdistance: Density and Abundance from Distance-Sampling Surveys

Compute and print distance function integration

Description

Check several integration characteristics, and report them to screen. This was designed to print info when user asks for higher verbose level. The scaled distance function should integrate to 1.0 every iteration of maximization, and this function checks that.

Usage

integrateKey(ml, key, f0, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

ml	The fitted object or model list
key	The scaled distance function.
f0	The value of f(0) when integrating line transects. This should be the ESW for the case.
plot	Logical scalar. If TRUE, plot a diagnostic consisting of the distance function and approximating points we use for quadrature.

Value

Nothing. Prints information on integrals to the screen.
