Betarv and Betarv2
These computer programs are as described in the paper "On the use of correlated beta random variables with animal population modelling" by Tadeu, Samaranayaka and Manly in 2008.

RT
A program for randomization methods. Written by Dr. Bryan F.J. Manly to accompany his book, "Randomization and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology" published by Chapman and Hall.

RT version 2.1 is available for $99.95 (US) (plus $8.00 (US) shipping and handling) from WEST, Inc. Click here to request a copy.

A trial version of RT, good for 30 days, is available for download below.
Directions
  1. Make a directory with a suitable name (e.g., RT_TRIAL) on your hard drive.
  2. Copy RT_TRIAL.EXE into the directory.
  3. Run RT_TRIAL.EXE. All programs and data will appear in the directory.
  4. To start RT, run RT.BAT.

Capture-Recapture Routines for the "Handbook of Capture-Recapture Analysis"

The Handbook of Capture-Recapture Analysis, edited by Steve Amstrup, Trent McDonald, and Bryan Manly, with contributions from Anne Chao, Richard Huggins, Ken Pollock, Russell Alpizar-Jara , James Nichols, John Hoenig, Carl Schwarz, and Richard Barker is in press and due out fall 2005 from Princeton University Press.

MRAWIN5.3 (349k): Open population capture-recapture routines that run in both R and S-plus

S-Draw : GRTS for the Average Joe

S-Draw is a program for drawing generalized random tessellation stratified (GRTS) samples and other types of probability samples. S-Draw accepts simple inputs such as population and sample size, or complex enumeration sampling frames containing UTM coordinates, ID's, and weights. A complete help file is included.
