We believe that most questions meriting the effort required to carry out point counts also merit serious attempts to estimate detection probabilities associated with the counts. The double-observer approach is a method which can be used for this purpose. Models Estimates for detection probability are generated under several models. The program expects the data to be in the format specified above. On startup, the program will display a 'splash screen' which can be removed by clicking on it.
Help is available via the 'Help' menu.
Output can be viewed via the 'View' menu. The program is designed to run in a fashion like many Windows 'wizard' programs. A button appears on the screen which tells you what needs to be done next.
