Description

Parameters definition

Usage

parDef(stepDist, angleDist, nbStates, estAngleMean, zeroInflation)

Arguments

stepDist	Name of the distribution of the step lengths.
angleDist	Name of the distribution of the turning angles. Set to "none" if the angle distribution should not be estimated.
nbStates	Number of states of the HMM.
estAngleMean	TRUE if the mean of the turning angles distribution is estimated, FALSE otherwise.
zeroInflation	TRUE if the step length distribution is inflated in zero.

Value

A list of:

parSize	Vector of two values: number of parameters of the step length distribution, number of parameters of the turning angle distribution
bounds	Matrix with 2 columns and sum(parSize) rows - each row contains the lower and upper bound for the correponding parameter)
parNames	Names of parameters of step distribution (the names of the parameters of the angle distribution are always the same).
