simmTLW: Simulate a truncated Levy Walk (TLW)

In MarieAugerMethe/CCRWvsLW: Searching strategy movement models

Description

Simulate a truncated Levy Walk (TLW). This model represents the movement of the Levy search strategy.

Usage

simmTLW(n, mu, a, b)

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
mu	one numeric (1<mu<=3) representing the mu value for the Pareto distribution of the step lengths
a	one numeric and positive value representing the minimum step length value
b	one numeric and positive value representing the maximum step length value, i.e., the truncation point

Details

Simulates a TLW and return a ltraj object
