S4 generic method to simulate a survey
Description
Simulates the process by which individuals or clusters are detected. If
a simulation is passed in then it will generate a population, set of
transects and simulate the detection process. If a survey is passed in
it will simply simulate the detection process. See
make.simulation
for example usage.
Usage
run.survey(object, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'Simulation'
run.survey(object, filename = character(0))
## S4 method for signature 'Survey.LT'
run.survey(object, region = NULL)
## S4 method for signature 'Survey.PT'
run.survey(object, region = NULL)
Arguments
object |
an object of class Simulation |
... |
allows extra arguments |
filename |
optional argument specifying a path to a shapefile if the transects are to be loaded from file. |
region |
an object of class Region. |
Value
An object which inherits from a Survey-class
object.
This will be a Survey.LT-class
object in the case of a
simulation with a line transect design and a Survey.PT-class
if the simulation has a point transect design.
