In BastilleRousseau/IndRSA: An R package for individual-level Resource Selection Analysis

IndRSA

IndRSA is an R package for individual-level modelling of resource selection.

This is the development area for the package IndRSA, which provides a series of functions to analyze resource selection of animals at the individual level (instead of using mixed-effects models).

Installation of the development version

You need to use the package devtoolsfrom Hadley Wickham.

library(devtools)
install_github("BastilleRousseau/IndRSA")

Getting started

The package main functions are rsf_mod, pop_avg, aictab_ind and kfold_ind. For a list of documented functions see the Reference manual. Examples of how to use the main functions are also provided in the vignette.

Important note

As of now, the functions are implemented to take an "ID_Year" as input for individuals in rsf_mod. The underscore "_" is critical for proper use of later functions. Even if your indivduals are over the same period or over multiple years, adding _XXXX is required. This will be fixed in future update.
