Extending the Vertically Reflected Exponentiated Hyperbolic Tangent Detection Function for Grouped Line‐Transect Data

ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of population density in distance sampling depends critically on the choice of detection function. Conventional models such as the half‐normal (HN) and hazard‐rate (HR) functions may perform poorly when the underlying detection structure is complex, p...
