[ADMB Users] Random Effect Distance Sampling Example

[H. Skaug]

Thanks for that. I put it on:

http://www.admb-project.org/examples/sampling/line-transect-methods/random-scale/random-scale

It is very nice to wrap it up in an R package as you do. The only
thing I am not sure about
is how to install it as an R package. Do you simply zip up the whole
directory with its
subdirectories, and then choose "install from zip file " in R? In case
we can say this.

Thanks for you efforts.

Hans
