In DistanceDevelopment/hsltm: Line transect estimation with hidden state availability models

Description

Calculates the probability that an animal is availabel at least once whil within detectable region, using the method of Laake et al. (1997), Eqn (4).

Usage

jeffa(Pi, w, spd = NULL, E = NULL)

Arguments

Pi	is Markov model transition matrix (state 1 is UNavailable).
w	is maximum forward distance things can be detected.
spd	is observer speed. If NULL w is assumed to be in the units of the Markov chain.
E	is mean times unavailable (E[1]) and available (E[2]) (in unist of Markov chain). If E is not NULL, it is used in preference to Pi for calculations, else it is ignored.

Details

See Laake et al. (1997), Eqn (4), or Borchers et al. (2013) for details of the method.
