Distance-Sampling Analyses for Density and Abundance Estimation
Distance-sampling is a popular method for estimating density and
abundance of organisms in ecology. Rdistance contains routines that
assist with analysis of
distance-sampling data collected on point or line transects.
Distance models are specified using regression-like formula (similar
to lm, glm, etc.). Abundance routines
perform automated bootstrapping and automated detection-function
selection. Overall (study area) and site-level (transect or point)
abundance estimates are available. A large suite of classical,
parametric detection functions are
included along with some uncommon parametric
functions (e.g., Gamma, negative exponential) and non-parametric
smoothed distance functions. Custom (user-defined) detection functions
are easily implemented (see vignette).
The help files and vignettes have been
vetted by multiple authors and tested in workshop
settings.

Functions for manipulation of R documentation objects,
including functions reprompt() and ereprompt() for updating 'Rd'
documentation for functions, methods and classes; 'Rd' macros for
citations and import of references from 'bibtex' files for use in
'Rd' files and 'roxygen2' comments; 'Rd' macros for evaluating and
inserting snippets of 'R' code and the results of its evaluation or
creating graphics on the fly; and many functions for manipulation of
references and Rd files.

Update and manipulate Rd documentation objects
Functions for manipulation of Rd objects, including
function reprompt for updating existing Rd documentation for
functions, methods and classes. If a documentation object
describes more than one function, reprompt updates all
descriptions.
