CRAN Release 2.1.16

mrds 2.1.16

• improved predict() method now does the Right Thing with factors
• Fixed bug in scaling of histograms for point transect pdf plots and points on those plots. Thanks to Erics Howe and Rexstad for reporting these issues.
• You can now set y axis limits when using plot.ds, defaults should be more sensible for pt+point models. Thanks to Eric Howe for the suggestion.
• Fixed bug when setting initial values that threw many errors. Thanks to Laura Marshall for spotting this.

mrds 2.1.15

• rescaling parameters were not correct, now fixed. Thanks to Laura Marshall for spotting this.
• coefficients are called coefficients (not a mixture of coefficients and parameters) in summary() results
• speed-up in io.fi models (thanks to Winston Chang's profvis, showing many unecessary calls to model.matrix)
• plot.ds now has a pdf= option to plot the probability density function (for point transect models only)
• assign.par, create.ddfobj and detfct are now exported, so it can be used by dsm (though shouldn't be used by anything else!)
• fixed bug in left truncation where probability of detection was not calculated correctly. Thanks to Jason Roberts for pointing this out!
