The file Leastcostpath.R is an R script which can be executed directly (narrative walk-through is provided by the PDF file EDmanuscript-supplements.pdf). The likelihood function (in the form of an R function) is provided in the R script MLE.R. Finally, the various pieces are put together to carry-out a simulation study in the R script simstudy.R.
