simmBW: Simulate a Brownian Walk (BW)

In MarieAugerMethe/CCRWvsLW: Searching strategy movement models

Description

Simulate a Brownian Walk (BW). This model represent the movement of an animal which has no directional persistence.

Usage

simmBW(n, l, a)

Arguments

n	one integer value for the sample size. Note that this sample size represent the number of final step lengths and turning angles wanted (when TAc = 0). The ltraj object returned will be longer because a minimum of 3 locations are required to calculate a relative turning angle
l	one numeric and positive value representing the lambda value for the exponential distribution of the step lengths
a	one numeric and positive value representing the minimum step length value

Details

Simulates a BW and return a ltraj object
