[R-sig-eco] Randomly Stopped Sum Model

[Glen,George]

Hi all,

I found this paper online (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4226152), which discusses a method to model the sum of continuous random variables over a number of events where the number of events is also a random variable. I was wondering if anyone knew of specific examples using this approach to model reproductive events in animal populations? Or if a robust modeling framework in R has been constructed?
