YAPS - Yet Another Positioning Solver

Feb, 2024

The R package yaps was introduced in 2017 as a transparent open source alternative to closed source manufacturer-provided solutions to estimate positions of fish (and other aquatic animals) tagged with acoustic transmitters.
We contionusly improve on the package to make it both better and easier to use.
For further information and latest version, visit the YAPS github page.
