mclaren.a: McLaren's availability correction factor calculation for...

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

Description

Calculates McLaren's availability correction factor, for each of a set of m 2-state Markov model availability parameters passed to it and returns these and their mean.

Usage

mclaren.a(hmm.pars, w, spd = 1)

Arguments

hmm.pars	is a list with 2x2xm Markov model transition matrices (in which state 1 is UNavailable) in element $Pi (where m is number of availability parameter sets).
w	is max forward distance things can be seen at (or max forward time). Must be scalar.
spd	is observer speed; omit if w is max forward TIME.
