bSims (version 0.3-3)

Agent-Based Bird Point Count Simulator

Description

A highly scientific and utterly addictive bird point count simulator to test statistical assumptions, aid survey design, and have fun while doing it (Solymos 2024 ). The simulations follow time-removal and distance sampling models based on Matsuoka et al. (2012) , Solymos et al. (2013) , and Solymos et al. (2018) , and sound attenuation experiments by Yip et al. (2017) .
