Comparing offsets to offsets calculated by BAM #5

Description

@see24

First of all it would be great if the README included the calculation of the offset that should actually be used in modelling as this last step is missing and although I think it is simply log(Apq) based on the Solymos paper it would be nice if this was laid out in the language of the napops package.

When I tried to calculate the offsets using this method I got very different offset values than the offsets I have from BAM calculated using the QPAD package. The code to do this is here https://github.com/LandSciTech/ROFBirds/blob/ef289a176b8aab30c019ea1ec9af9968e8d652f0/analysis/scripts/prep_BBS_data.R
(Apologies that this won't be entirely reproducible but you should be able to do most of it if you skip the bits with local data, and at least if gives you an idea what I am doing.)

And this pdf shows a graph comparing mean offset for each species.

I actually found after messing around a bit that if I change the radius used to calculate area from 400 m to 4 I get much more comparable offsets but that is weird units so I am wondering if you have any thoughts?
