R package openCR

The R package openCR implements open-population capture–recapture models for data in the secr capthist format.

openCR is available from CRAN - including Windows and Mac binaries. The code is also on GitHub and bug reports may be posted there. Please direct other questions to the DENSITY|secr forum at phidot.org or the Google group secr.    

Features

  • spatial and nonspatial models
