The goal of the R package samplesim is to estimate sample size effects in stable isotope mixing solutions.

The package samplesim requires the freeware JAGS.

You can install the stable version of samplesim with:

## Install stable version of 'samplesim' ----
install.packages("samplesim")

Or you can install the development version from GitHub with:

## Install 'remotes' package (if not already installed) ----
if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}

## Install development version of 'samplesim' ----
remotes::install_github("ahasverus/samplesim")

Then you can attach the package samplesim:

library("samplesim")
