Examples

data(LogitNormalMR)
logitNor.proc=process.data(LogitNormalMR,model="LogitNormalMR",
		counts=list("Unmarked seen"=c(96,68,59),

logitNor.ddl=make.design.data(logitNor.proc)
# Note that to get good starting values yo should specify a formula that allows use of the sin link
# MARK will ignore the use of the sin link and use log for parameters N and sigma
# after fitting this intial model you can use it for starting values with other model that
# do not require the sin link but always check to make sure the model is converging to 
# reasonable values.
