title: 'EDE: Extinction Date Estimation from Sighting Records'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.EDE
abstract: 'Estimates the historic date of extinction of a species from a time-ordered
  record of sighting events. Given a table of sighting counts per year, computes extinction
  date estimators from the sighting-record literature: optimal linear estimation and
  its Weibull extreme-value persistence test (Roberts & Solow, 2003; Solow, 2005),
  constant-rate and declining-rate persistence tests (Solow, 1993), a sighting-rate
  persistence test comparable across records with different observation periods (McInerny,
  Roberts, Davy & Cribb, 2006), a classical confidence interval on the end of a temporal
  range (Strauss & Sadler, 1989), a truncation-point extrapolation (Robson & Whitlock,
  1964), and a combinatorial persistence test based on inclusion-exclusion over sighting-gap
  occupancy (Burgman, Grimson & Ferson, 1995). Also implements a nonparametric endpoint
  test (Solow & Roberts, 2003), a sighting-interval trend index (Jarić & Ebenhard,
  2010), and reliability-adjusted inference for uncertain records (Jarić & Roberts,
  2014). Every estimator is built on a validated input object and returns a common
  result class with, where defined, a point estimate, a confidence interval, or a
  full p-value curve.'
