This package implements both conventional distance sampling analysis and mark-recapture distance sampling methods for when detection on the transect is not certain. Mark-recapture distance sampling methods are described in Borchers et al. (1988) , Laake (1999) and Borchers et al. (2006)
Details
Examples of distance sampling analyses are available at https://distancesampling.org/resources/vignettes.html.
