Description: Performs distance sampling simulations. 'dsims' repeatedly
        generates instances of a user defined population within a given
        survey region. It then generates realisations of a survey
        design and simulates the detection process. The data are then
        analysed so that the results can be compared for accuracy and
        precision across all replications. This process allows users to
        optimise survey designs for their specific set of survey
        conditions. The effects of uncertainty in population
        distribution or parameters can be investigated under a number
        of simulations so that users can be confident that they have
        achieved a robust survey design before deploying vessels into
        the field. The distance sampling designs used in this package
        from 'dssd' are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance
        Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873).
        General distance sampling methods are detailed in Introduction
        to Distance Sampling: Estimating Abundance of Biological
        Populations, Buckland et. al. (2004, ISBN-13: 978-0198509271).
