In RoyChristian/R2MCDS: Calling MCDS from R.

R2MCDS

This package will allow the user to call the MCDS engine from Distance 7.2 in the R environment.

Version 0.9.2

• Fixed a bug in the mcds.wrap example (separated analysis by year)
• Updated the R2MCDS functions to accommodate point count data analysis
• Updated the package documentation
• Tested the compatibility of the package with the most up-to-date versions of DISTANCE and R
• Updated vignettes
• Updated helpfiles
• Added one example of basic analysis based on point transect data in the help file of mcds.wrap() function

Version 0.9.1

• renamed "predicted_hist" to "plot.distanceFit"
• Updated vignette syntax

Version 0.9.0

• Renamed package
• Updated vignettes
• Renamed distance.wrap function to mcds.wrap
• Renamed distance.filter to mcds.filter
• Replaced hist.wrap with "observation_hist" and "predicted_hist"
• Re-extracted the dataset from ECSAS and added a new dataset (Laridae)
• Removed the gridding functions
• Removed the plotting functions
• Removed filterECSAS

Version 0.8.3

• Fixed a bug in the strip transect function

Version 0.8.2

• Improved the vignettes
• Anonymised the alcidae database

Version 0.8.1

• Made changes to the vignettes
• Changed the example in distance.wrap
• Added code to foolproof the inputs of distance.wrap

Version 0.8.0

• Added a vignette for model with covariates
• Added a vignette for simple models
• Added a vignette for stratified analysis
• Added the keep.best.model function to simplify output when many model are fitted to the same species
• Made cosmetic changes to the print and summary functions for the distanceList and distanceFit class
• Created the SpeciesList class
• Redefined the distanceList class
• Added the units options to distance.wrap
• Made extensive change to distance.wrap to make sure each model is estimated independently

Version 0.7.2

• Simplifed the help of distance.wrap
• Added the names of the covariates to the print.summary function
• Added the names of the covariates to the distance.wrap output
• Created a function to extract the names of the covariates in the distance output

Version 0.7.1

• Created the strip.wrap function to perform strip.transects analysis
• Made modifications to distance.wrap to allow the usage of explanatory variables to compute detection functions
• Made extensive modifications to distance.wrap to improve rare species estimation
• Added a function to extract information about the cluster size estimaton by distance.wrap
• Improved the print and summary functions for the distanceFit objects
• Created distanceList class
• Added print and summary functions for the distanceList objects

Version 0.7.0

• hist.wrap now use ggplot2 to make the distance histogram
• all unmarked dependency were deleted
• MCDS functions output are now numeric
• resume.plot is deprecated
• Global.summary replace resume.plot
• distance.wrap output has been modified to accomodate change for Global.summary
• ECSASfilter and Distancefilter bugs have been fixed
• Added print and summary function for distanceFit objects
