Examples

## Load Garamba raw dataset ----
file_path <- system.file("extdata", "garamba_survey.csv", 
                         package = "popbayes")
                         
garamba <- read.csv(file = file_path)

## Create temporary folder ----
temp_path <- tempdir()

## Format dataset ----
garamba_formatted <- popbayes::format_data(
  data              = garamba, 
  path              = temp_path,
  field_method      = "field_method",
  pref_field_method = "pref_field_method",
  conversion_A2G    = "conversion_A2G",
  rmax              = "rmax")

## Import all count series ----
count_series <- popbayes::read_series(path = temp_path)

## Import one count series ----
a_bus <- popbayes::read_series(series = "garamba__alcelaphus_buselaphus",
                               path   = temp_path)
