nimbleSCR: Spatial Capture-Recapture (SCR) Methods Using 'nimble'

Provides utility functions, distributions, and fitting methods for Bayesian Spatial Capture-Recapture (SCR) and Open Population Spatial Capture-Recapture (OPSCR) modelling using the nimble package (de Valpine et al. 2017 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2016.1172487 >). Development of the package was motivated primarily by the need for flexible and efficient analysis of large-scale SCR data (Bischof et al. 2020 <doi:10.1073/pnas.2011383117 >). Computational methods and techniques implemented in nimbleSCR include those discussed in Turek et al. 2021 <doi:10.1002/ecs2.3385>; among others. For a recent application of nimbleSCR, see Milleret et al. (2021) <doi:10.1098/rsbl.2021.0128>.
