Description: Many bioacoustic data workflows rely on manual review (i.e., 
    validation) of a subset of call files to provide information to statistical
    models that account for misclassification by automated algorithms.
    Because manual review can be prohibitively expensive, simulation can be a 
    valuable tool to aid the design of studies that use validation. This package 
    provides user-friendly functions to reduce the programming burden of 
    simulation studies that compare validation sampling designs. Simulations 
    assume the count-detection model, which is a realistic model for bioacoustic 
    data, especially for bats. For more information, see Oram et al. (2025) 
    <doi:10.1214/25-AOAS2096>.
