Companion Animal Population Management

Quantitative analysis to support companion animal population management. Some functions assist survey sampling tasks (calculate sample size for simple and complex designs, select sampling units and estimate population parameters) while others assist the modelling of population dynamics. For demographic characterizations and population management evaluations see: "Baquero, et al." (2018), . For modelling of population dynamics see: "Baquero et al." (2016), . For sampling methods see: "Levy PS & Lemeshow S" (2013), "ISBN-10: 0470040076"; "Lumley" (2010), "ISBN: 978-0-470-28430-8".

capm is a package for R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.

capm stands for Companion Animal Population Management and is an initiative to guide and automate quantitative analysis to support companion animal population management.

Current version offers functions that allow users to implement the following workflow:

  1. Sample size calculation.
  2. Selection of sampling units for simple and complex surveys.
  3. Mapping primary sampling units to be visited (complex surveys).
  4. Estimation of population parameters.
  5. Construction of population pyramids, conditioned on sex, age and another categorical variable such as reproductive status.
  6. Assessment of the effect produced by population management interventions, through mathematical modelling.
  7. Prioritization of interventions according to the effect they produce, through sensitivity analysis.

To install the development version, run install_github("oswaldosantos/capm") in (ideally) RStudio. devtools package must be previously loaded.

To install the production version, run install.packages("capm") in (ideally) RStudio.

If you find any error or have suggestions to improve or include functionality to capm, I will glad to know it. Please get in touch so I can better understand your needs.
