pseudoRes: Pseudo-residuals

In moveHMM: Animal Movement Modelling using Hidden Markov Models

Pseudo-residuals

Description

The pseudo-residuals of a moveHMM model, as described in Zucchini and McDonad (2009).

Usage

pseudoRes(m)

Arguments

m	A moveHMM object.

Details

If some turning angles in the data are equal to pi, the corresponding pseudo-residuals will not be included. Indeed, given that the turning angles are defined on (-pi,pi], an angle of pi results in a pseudo-residual of +Inf (check Section 6.2 of reference for more information on the computation of pseudo-residuals).

Value

A list of:

stepRes	The pseudo-residuals for the step lengths
angleRes	The pseudo-residuals for the turning angles

# m is a moveHMM object (as returned by fitHMM), automatically loaded with the package
m <- example$m
res <- pseudoRes(m)
