Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples
Calculates the value of the first element of the detection parameters theta based on a supplied value of the average detection rate. Primarily for internal use.

|
detection.function |
The detection function. Only "halfnormal" and "hazard" (hazard rate) are supported at present. |
theta2 |
The second detection parameter for the hazard rate model (the shape parameter). Not required for halfnormal. |
w |
The maximum range of observation. Objects at distance greater than w from the observer are assumed to never be recorded. |
mean.detection.prob.value |
The mean detection probability over the range of observation. |
stop |
Set to T to open a browser window (for debugging purposes) |
The value of the first parameter of theta.
