Overview

About

Maintained by Laura Marshall7 releasesCRAN page ↗

Performs distance sampling analyses on a number of species at once and can account for unidentified sightings, model uncertainty and covariate uncertainty. Unidentified sightings refer to sightings which cannot be allocated to a single species but may instead be allocated to a group of species. The abundance of each unidentified group is estimated and then prorated to the species estimates. Model uncertainty should be incorporated when multiple models give equally good fit to the data but lead to large differences in estimated density / abundance. Covariate uncertainty should be incorporated when covariates cannot be measured accurately, for example this is often the case for group size in marine mammal surveys. Variance estimation for these methods is via a non parametric bootstrap. The methods implemented are described in Gerodette T. and Forcada J. (2005) doi:10.3354/meps291001 Non-recovery of two spotted and spinner dolphin populations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mads/mads_0.1.6.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "mads_0.1.6.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.6) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mads

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-mads

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
