#' Multi-Analysis Distance Sampling (mads)
#'
#' Can perform distance sampling analyses on a number of species at once
#' and can account for unidentified sightings. Unidentified sightings
#' refer to sightings which cannot be allocated to a single species but
#' may instead be allocated to a group of species. The abundance of each
#' unidentified group is estimated and then prorated to the species
#' estimates. The multi-analysis engine can also incorporate model and
#' covariate uncertainty. Variance estimation is via a non parametric
#' bootstrap. The methods implemented are described in Gerodette T. and
#' Forcada J. (2005) <10.3354/meps291001> "Non-recovery of two spotted
#' and spinner dolphin populations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean".
#'
#' The main function in this package is \link{execute.multi.analysis}.

#' Further information on distance sampling methods and example code is available at \url{http://distancesampling.org/R/}.

#' We are also in the process of setting up a new area of the website for vignettes / example code at \url{http://examples.distancesampling.org }.

#' Example simulated data used to demonstrate the package functionality
#'
#' These data were generated using DSsim. Two populations were generated inside
#' a rectangular study region, one of these is called 'CD' (common dolphin) and the
#' other is 'WSD' (white-sided dolphin). Density was assumed to be equal across the
#' study area and the population sizes for the CD and WSD populations were 3000
#' and 1500, respectively. Detections of individuals were simulated based on half
#' normal detection functions with a scale parameter of 0.5 and a truncation
#' distance of 1. A systematic parallel line transect design was used. Once both
#' sets of data had been generated they were combined and 10% of the sightings were
#' randomly selected to be in the unidentified sightings category.
