Using dsims

There is currently one vignette within the dsims package to help you get started using dsims: - GettingStarted: “Getting Started with dsims”

Getting dsims

The easiest way to get dsims is to install it from CRAN within R-studio or the R interface. We endeavour to make all new functionality available on CRAN in a timely manor. However, if you wish to download the development version with the latest updates immediately you can do this using Hadley Wickham’s devtools package:

  install.packages("devtools")

then install dsims from github:

  library(devtools)
  install_github("DistanceDevelopment/dsims")
