dssd-package: Distance Sampling Survey Design (dssd)

In dssd: Distance Sampling Survey Design

Distance Sampling Survey Design (dssd)

Description

Creates survey designs for distance sampling surveys. These designs can be assessed for various effort and coverage statistics. Once the user is satisfied with the design characteristics they can generate a set of transects to use in their distance sampling survey. Many of the designs implemented in this R package were first made available in our 'Distance' for Windows software and are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873).

Details

The main functions in this package are: make.region, make.design, generate.transects and run.coverage. See also write.transects for examples of how to export surveys generated by dssd.

Further information on distance sampling methods and example code is available at http://distancesampling.org/R/.

Also see our website for vignettes / example code at http://examples.distancesampling.org.
