BASMasterSample: A package to use Balanced Acceptance Sampling (BAS) as a Master Sample for environmental monitoring.

Description

The BASMasterSample package uses a fixed bounding box, random seed and random rotation to select BAS sample sites from a Master Sample. The default is to select a Master Sample from Canada's Western Marine Master Sample. However, the package is general for any master sample passed to it in the correct format and can generate a new master sample given the boundary shape of interest. To date it can select random sites, or by stratification.

Details

At this stage the package is just for continuous resources but in the future we will add additional functions for selecting master samples for linear and point features.
