The goal of the R package `popbayes` is to infer trends of one or several
populations over time from series of counts. It does so by accounting for count
precision (provided or inferred based on expert knowledge, e.g. guesstimates),
smoothing the population rate of increase over time, and accounting for the maximum
demographic potential of species. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian framework.

## Installation

**Before using this package, users need to install the freeware
[JAGS](https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/).**

You can install the stable version of the package from the [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org) with:

```{r eval = FALSE}
install.packages("popbayes")
```

Alternatively you can install the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

```{r eval = FALSE}
# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("frbcesab/popbayes", build_vignettes = TRUE)
```
