Capwire: estimate population census size from non-invasive genetic sampling

Description

This R package is designed to fit the sampling models developed by Miller et al. 2005 (Molecular Ecology). The two main model fitting functions are fitTirm and fitEcm. The package also includes tools to estimate confidence intervals by parameteric bootstrapping (bootstrapCapwire), perform model selection (lrtCapwire) and simulate data under a variety of conditions (simTirm, simEcm, and simCapture).
