In david-borchers/hmltm: Line transect estimation with hidden Markov availability models

Makes survey parameter list (survey.pars) suitable for passing to est.hmltm.

Description

make.survey.pars just puts a bunch of stuff in a list in a format that est.hmltm expects.

Usage

make.survey.pars(spd, W, ymax, Wl = 0, dT = 1, theta.f = 0, theta.b = 90)

Arguments

spd	is observer speed.
W	is perpendicular right-truncation distance for estimation.
ymax	is maximum forward distance for estimation - it should be far enough ahead that it is not possible to detect anyting beyond ymax.
Wl	is perpendicular left-truncation distance for estimation. (After truncating Wl is subtracted from all perpendicular distances.)
dT	is the time step on which the availability hidden Markov model operates.
theta.f	is REDUNDANT and should be removed. It must equal 0.
theta.b	is REDUNDANT and should be removed. It must equal 90.

Details

Packs the above in a list suitable for passing as survey.pars to est.hmltm.
