getArea: Compute area

In marcher: Migration and Range Change Estimation in R

Description

Compute predicted area at given alpha level (e.g. 50% or 90%) of a migration model fit

Usage

getArea(p, T, X, Y, alpha = 0.95, model = c("wn", "ou", "ouf")[1],
  direct = NULL)

Arguments

p	estimated mouf parameter vector (tau.z, tau.v, t1, dt, x1, y1, x2, y2)
T	time
X	x coordinate
Y	y coordinate
alpha	proportion of area used to be computed
model	one of "wn", "ou", "ouf" - whether or not the velocity autocorrelation needs to be taken into account.
direct	whether or not to compute the area directly (i.e. fitting a symmetric bivariate normal to the residuals) or to account for the autocorrelation. The default behavior (NULL) computes directly for the "wn" model, and uses the autocorrelation (which is slower) only if the estmated spatial time scale is greater that 1/30 of the total time range.

Details

For sufficient data (i.e. where the range in the times is much greater than the ) This function estimates the (symmetric) 95% area of use from a bivariate Gaussian
