tidycreel: Tidy Interface for Creel Survey Design and Analysis

Provides a tidy, pipe-friendly interface for creel survey design, data management, estimation, visualisation, and reporting. A creel survey interviews anglers on site to estimate fishing effort, catch, and harvest for a water body. Built on the 'survey' package for design-based inference, with support for instantaneous, bus-route, ice, camera, and aerial designs. Catch-rate estimators follow Hoenig, Jones, Pollock, Robson and Wade (1997) <doi:10.2307/2533116>; bus-route designs follow Kinloch, McGlennon, Nicoll and Pike (1997) <doi:10.1016/s0165-7836(97)00068-4>.
