Simulated Sampling Procedure for Community Ecology R package SSP version 1.1.0 The Simulation-based Sampling Protocol (SSP) is an R package designed to estimate sampling effort in studies of ecological communities. It is based on the concept of pseudo-multivariate standard error (MultSE) (Anderson & Santana-Garcon, 2015, <doi:10.1111/ele.12385>) and the simulation of ecological data. The theoretical background is described in Guerra-Castro et al. (2020, <doi:10.1111/ecog.05284>). Software Depends: R (>= 3.5.0) Imports: vegan, stats, sampling, ggplot2 Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown, testthat, roxygen2 Edlin Guerra-Castro <edlinguerra@gmail.com> Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) Edlin Guerra-Castro [aut, cre], Maite Mascaro [aut], Nuno Simoes [aut], Juan Cruz-Motta [aut], Juan Cajas [aut] GPL-3 2025-11-21 application/tgz https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=SSP doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.SSP
