fixrates: Fix rates of animal tracking devices.

In movedesign: Study Design Toolbox for Movement Ecology Studies

Fix rates of animal tracking devices.

Description

A dataset listing typical GPS fix rates for animal tracking devices. Useful for selecting typical sampling schedules in wildlife tracking projects.

Usage

fixrates

Format

A data.frame with 40 rows and 7 variables:

dti_notes

Human-readable fix schedule, e.g., "1 fix every month". Helps interpret sampling intervals in practical terms.

dti

Sampling interval in seconds, i.e., time between consecutive location fixes.

frq

Sampling frequency in seconds, i.e., how often a fix occurs (inverse of dti).

frq_hrs

Sampling frequency in hours, offering a more intuitive unit for comparison.

highlighted

Logical. TRUE if the fix rate is commonly used in animal tracking studies. Useful for identifying standard settings.
