Generate density estimates for time slices of a trip

slice(slices, k, mcmc = slices$mcmc, grid = slices$grid,
  weights = slices$weights, method = slices$method,
  bandwidth = slices$bandwidth, chains = NULL)

slices(type = c("primary", "intermediate"), breaks = NULL, mcmc = NULL,
  grid = raster(), weights = NULL, method = c("hist", "kde"),
  bandwidth = 0, include.lowest = TRUE, right = FALSE)

sliceInterval(slices, k, mcmc = slices$mcmc)

sliceIndices(slices, mcmc = slices$mcmc)

`slices`	an object generated by `slices`
`k`	the index of the time slice to bin.
`mcmc`	object generated by generated by `estelleMetropolis` or `stellaMetropolis`.
`grid`	raster object that defines the sampling grid.
`weights`	weights for each location.
`method`	return a kernel density estimate (`"kde"`) or simple histogram (`"hist"`)?
`bandwidth`	bandwidth of the kernel density estimator.
`chains`	NULL or the subset of chains to bin.
`type`	construct density rasters for `primary` (x) or `intermediate` (z) locations
`breaks`	NULL, or a specification suitable for `cut.POSIXt` to define the time slices to bin.
`include.lowest`	parameter to `cut.POSIXt`.
`right`	parameter to `cut.POSIXt`.

These functions divide a trip into time slices, and generate location density estimates for each time slice.

The slices function defines the slices into which the trip is divided, and whether density estimates are generated for the primary or intermediate locations. If breaks is NULL, each location forms a separate time slice, otherwise breaks divides the trip into time slices in the same style as cut.POSIXt. A default set of samples and a raster defining the spatial grid may also be specified.

The slice function generates a density estimate for a time slice, sliceInterval returns the corresponding time interval, and sliceIndices returns the indices that will yield non null raster.

slice returns the locations for time slice of the track binned into a raster, slices returns a slices object that defines the time slices into which to bin, sliceInterval returns the time interval spanned by a slice, and sliceIndices returns the valid set of indices that will yield a raster.
