perpendicularDistanceIZ: Generate Objects of Class "'>perpendicularDistanceIZ"

Description

This is the generic definition for generating objects of class "perpendicularDistanceIZ." There is only one constructor method corresponding to this generic: perpendicularDistanceIZ-methods.

Usage

perpendicularDistanceIZ(downLog, pds, ...)

Arguments

downLog

Signature object of class "'>downLog".

pds

Signature object of class "'>perpendicularDistance" containing the pertinent perpendicular distance sampling information.

…

See methods.

Value

A valid object of class "'>perpendicularDistanceIZ."

Details

Since only one method exists for this generic, its signature arguments coincide with the above definitions. Please see perpendicularDistanceIZ-methods for more details.
