Line.Transect.Design-class

Class <code>"Line.Transect.Design"</code> is an S4 class detailing
the type of line transect design.

classes

Creates survey designs for distance sampling surveys. These
designs can be assessed for various effort and coverage statistics.
Once the user is satisfied with the design characteristics they can
generate a set of transects to use in their distance sampling survey.
Many of the designs implemented in this R package were first made
available in our 'Distance' for Windows software and are detailed in
Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008,
ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). Find out more about estimating animal/plant
abundance with distance sampling at <http://distancesampling.org/>.
