In SMBC-NZP/MigConnectivity: Estimate Migratory Connectivity for Migratory Animals

#' MigConnectivity: A package for quantifying migratory connectivity pattern and
#' strength for migratory animals
#'
#' The MigConnectivity package allows the user to estimate or calculate
#' transition probabilities for migratory animals between any two phases of the
#' annual cycle, using a variety of different data types, with the function
#' \code{\link{estTransition}}. The user can also estimate or calculate the
#' strength of migratory connectivity (MC), a standardized metric to quantify
#' the extent to which populations co-occur between two phases of the annual
#' cycle. MC is independent of data type and accounts for the relative abundance
#' of populations distributed across a seasonal range. The package includes
#' functions to estimate MC (\code{\link{estStrength}}) and the more traditional
#' metric of migratory connectivity strength (Mantel correlation; rM;
#' \code{\link{estMantel}}) incorporating uncertainty from multiple
#' sources of sampling error. Description of the MC metric can be found in Cohen
#' et al. (2018).
