Distance Sampling Survey Design

v1.0.3 · Apr 22, 2025 · GPL (>= 2)

Description

Creates survey designs for distance sampling surveys. These designs can be assessed for various effort and coverage statistics. Once the user is satisfied with the design characteristics they can generate a set of transects to use in their distance sampling survey. Many of the designs implemented in this R package were first made available in our 'Distance' for Windows software and are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). Find out more about estimating animal/plant abundance with distance sampling at <https://distancesampling.org/>.
