In wildlifeDI: Calculate Indices of Dynamic Interaction for Wildlife Tracking Data

#' GPS tracking data of two male deer
#'
#' GPS telemetry data for two male deer during a one-week period in March 2005. The 
#' two deer form a male bachelor group, making them an interesting case study for studying dynamic 
#' interaction patterns. The data are a subset of the data used as a case study in Long \emph{et al.} (2014).
#' 
#' The deer data are stored as a single \code{'ltraj'} object; two bursts contain the fixes for two 
#' individuals (deer37 and deer 38). GPS fixes were attempted at a regular sampling frequency of 15 minutes. 
#' For more information on these data  how the deer data was collected or for citation please see the papers 
#' Webb \emph{et al.} (2009, 2010).
