Welcome to the DSsim wiki!

This page provides links to some example code to help in the creation of simulations.

Example Simulations

Simple Systematic Point Transect Simulation

• DSsim generated systematic point transect surveys

Nested Actoustic Point Transect Simulation

• Multi-strata
• Plotting density as blocks
• DSsim generated nested point survyes with two types of detector, complex and simple. Complex detectors record distance but simple detectors only record detections not distances. DSsim fits the detection function to the recorded distances then adjusts the encounter rate to incorporate the detections with "missing distances".

Line Transect Truncation and Covariate Simulations (Vignette)

• Background Information
• Individual level covariates (affecting detectability)
• Model uncertainty
• Covariate detection function models
• DSsim generated systematic line transect surveys
• Iterating over multiple simulations with different truncation distances
• Running simulations to obtain detection function parameter estimates
