Abstract

This report documents a user interface for the analysis of data resulting from carcass search and experimental trials in the context of the environmental assessment of wind farms. The interface was developed in R. The interface has been tested for accuracy using multiple datasets and the software offers the possibility to generate simulated data. If users find or suspect errors, please contact James E. Hines of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Every effort has been made by the USGS or the U.S. Government to ensure that the spreadsheet interface is error free; however, errors may exist in the spreadsheet interface. The distribution of the spreadsheets does not constitute any warranty by the USGS, and no responsibility is assumed by the USGS in connection therewith.
