The goal of `bbousuite` is to make it easy to install and load the (`bbou`) suite of
R packages for **B**oreal cari**BOU**.

The `bbou`suite is a set of R packages to facilitate simulation and analysis of boreal caribou survival and recruitment data to estimate population growth.  

It consists of:  

- [`bboudata`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboudata/), a collection of simulated and anonymized empirical survival and recruitment datasets.  
- [`bboutools`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboutools/), a set of functions to estimate population growth in a Bayesian or Maximum Likelihood (ML) framework, implemented under the hood using the [Nimble](https://r-nimble.org) R package.  
- [`bboushiny`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboushiny/), a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to `bboutools`.    
- [`bbouretro`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbouretro/), a set of functions to estimate population growth using traditional frequentist methods.  
- [`bbousims`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbousims/), a set of functions to simulate survival and recruitment data from hypothetical radio-collaring and composition surveys.  

Each R package has a website with function documentation and a 'Get Started' guide.  
If you are completely new to the `bbou` suite, we recommend taking a look at the [bboutools 'Get Started' guide](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboutools/articles/bboutools.html) as this demonstrates core functionality and methods.

There are also several vignettes, including `bboutools` [analytical methods](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboutools/articles/methods.html) and [prior selection](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bboutools/articles/priors.html), `bbouretro` [analytical methods](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbouretro/articles/retro-methods.html), using [`bbousims` with `bboutools`](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbousims/articles/bboutools.html), and comparison of Bayesian and traditional method estimates with [empirical](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbousuite/articles/empirical-comparisons.html) and [simulated](https://poissonconsulting.github.io/bbousuite/articles/simulations.html) data.
