Version 1.0.0 as published to CRAN

dsims 1.0.0

New Features

  • Reading transects from file - this functionality is primarily envisionged for use from within Distance for Windows

Enhancements

  • New routine which will generate covariate values from a zero-truncated Poisson distribution for non integer values.
  • There is now no lower limit on the number of detections in simulations as this was introducing bias. There is now a warning system in place. Very low numbers of detections may cause issues fitting. There must be more detections than there are parameters in the model for the model to have a chance of fitting successfully. Note that distance sampling good practice recommends minimum of 60-80 detections for estimating the detection function for line transects and more for points.
  • Improved histogram.N.ests function will now plot either a histogram of estimates of individuals or clusters. It also provides the use.max.reps argument so that the plot can be consistent with the option selected for the simulation summary.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed simulations where cluster size was included - there was a formatting change in mrds output tables.
  • Added a check for repeat model definitions.
  • Add code to deal with equal model criteria values.
  • Fixed bug when no simulation repetitions had been successful
  • AICc method fixed
  • Warning indexes from parallel runs are now fixed
