riverdist - River Network Distance Computation and Applications

Reads river network shape files and computes network distances. Also included are a variety of computation and graphical tools designed for fisheries telemetry research, such as minimum home range, kernel density estimation, and clustering analysis using empirical k-functions with a bootstrap envelope. Tools are also provided for editing the river networks, meaning there is no reliance on external software.

jagshelper - Extracting and Visualizing Output from 'jagsUI'

Tools are provided to streamline Bayesian analyses in 'JAGS' using the 'jagsUI' package. Included are functions for extracting output in simpler format, functions for streamlining assessment of convergence, and functions for producing summary plots of output. Also included is a function that provides a simple template for running 'JAGS' from 'R'. Referenced materials can be found at <DOI:10.1214/ss/1177011136>.

recapr - Two Event Mark-Recapture Experiment

Tools are provided for estimating, testing, and simulating abundance in a two-event (Petersen) mark-recapture experiment. Functions are given to calculate the Petersen, Chapman, and Bailey estimators and associated variances. However, the principal utility is a set of functions to simulate random draws from these estimators, and use these to conduct hypothesis tests and power calculations. Additionally, a set of functions are provided for generating confidence intervals via bootstrapping. Functions are also provided to test abundance estimator consistency under complete or partial stratification, and to calculate stratified or partially stratified estimators. Functions are also provided to calculate recommended sample sizes. Referenced methods can be found in Arnason et al. (1996) <ISSN:0706-6457>, Bailey (1951) <DOI:10.2307/2332575>, Bailey (1952) <DOI:10.2307/1913>, Chapman (1951) NAID:20001644490, Cohen (1988) ISBN:0-12-179060-6, Darroch (1961) <DOI:10.2307/2332748>, and Robson and Regier (1964) <ISSN:1548-8659>.
