Distance sampling workshop data

This package is deprecated, all data are now in package Distance

Datasets used in the distance sampling workshops at CREEM, University of St Andrews.

This repo is for conversion of the "raw" data (Distance for Windows project files?) into RData files.

Workflow

1. Raw Distance for Windows project files and data (.dst and .dat) or CSVs, textfiles etc are deposited in their own folder inst/originals/.
2. Entry in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS stating provenance of the data and whether it can be distributed online or just during the workshop.
3. Script to convert to R in inst/conversion_scripts/. Ideally adding to the standard system in inst/conversion_scripts/make_most.R if possible. The script will save data in flatfile format to data/ as a data.frame with a reasonable object name and an additional unit conversion table with the same name, with "_units" appended.
4. Documentation for the data (in Roxygen format) deposited in a .R file in R/, this needs to include the info entered in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. This will generate documentation entries in man/

See TODO.md for current todo list.
