Usage

 ## S4 method for signature '.unUsedRecords'
unUsedRecords(obj,...)
 ## S4 method for signature '.unUsedRecordsStack'
unUsedRecords(obj,...)
  
 ## S4 replacement method for signature '.MoveTrackSingle,logical'
unUsedRecords(obj) <- value
 ## S4 replacement method for signature '.MoveTrackStack,logical'
unUsedRecords(obj) <- value

Arguments

obj	a move, moveStack or moveBurst object
value	A logical vector of the same length as the number of locations
...	Currently not implemented

Examples

data(leroy)
data(fishers)

## get unused records from a move or moveStack object
str(unUsedRecords(leroy)) # from a move object
str(unUsedRecords(fishers)) # from a moveStack object

## assign locations of a move object as unused record
par(mfrow=2:1)
plot(leroy, type='b')
# e.g. assign every second location as unused
unUsedRecords(leroy)<-as.logical((1:n.locs(leroy))%%2) 
plot(leroy, type='b')

# e.g. assign first 20 locations as unused
data(leroy)
unUsedRecords(leroy)<- as.logical(c(rep("TRUE",20), rep("FALSE",n.locs(leroy)-20)))
