Reads in an event-level dataset of carcass placements and searches and
constructs a carcass-level and search-level table of sufficient
statistics.


Implementation of estimator ACME, described in Wolpert (2015), ACME: A  		Partially Periodic Estimator of Avian & Chiropteran Mortality at Wind
Turbines (submitted). Unlike most other models, this estimator
supports decreasing-hazard Weibull model for persistence;
decreasing search proficiency as carcasses age; variable
bleed-through at successive searches; and interval mortality
estimates. The package provides, based on search data, functions
for estimating the mortality inflation factor in Frequentist and
Bayesian settings.
