build_sim: Create a survey object for simulations

In dill/ltdesigntester: Test Performance of Line Transect Designs

Description

Build a survey object using machinery from DSsim. Specify a design, region, population size, resolution and a density surface to generate the relevant simulation settings.

Usage

build_sim(design_path, region_path, dsurf, df, n_pop = 500, n_sim = 1,
  n_grid = NULL, n_grid_x = NULL, n_grid_y = NULL)

Arguments

design_path	the path to the design shapefile
region_path	path to region shapefile
dsurf	density surface
df	detection function list (elements: key, scale, shape, truncation)
n_pop	true population size
n_sim	number of simulations to generate
n_grid	number of cells in each direction in dsurf (assumed square)
n_grid_x	number of cells in x direction in dsurf (if non-square)
n_grid_y	number of cells in y direction in dsurf (if non-square)

Value

simulation object ready to be run with create.survey.results.
