Factors that can be changed are grid location (by <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> coordinates), grid size (number of cells), cell size, number of classes in a categorical variable, and the factors tested in this study: survey design (and associated parameters), species distribution (contiguity level), detection probability, and sample size. Tests of environmental data error effects were completed by modifying covariate data after a hypothetical distribution map was created. Run Surveys.exe without any arguments for argument order and detailed information. </p> </blockquote>
