predict the lifespan of specified tag model and burst interval

Description

Using data published by Lotek, and a simple fitted model, this function estimates the 80% lifespan for those tags. The model is lifeSpan = D / (1 + rt * dutyCycle / BI), where D and rt are fitted parameters, dutyCycle is in [0, 1], and BI is the burst interval, in seconds.

Usage

predictTagLifespan(model, bi, dutyCycle = 1)

Arguments

model	character vector of tag models
bi	numeric vector; burst interval, in seconds
dutyCycle	fraction of time tag is transmitting. The usual value, 1.0 is the default. Non-default values would be specified if using a tag that shuts down at night, e.g.

Value

predicted lifespan (days).

Note

for any values in model which are not known, we use the explicit model "unknown" which is defined in lotekTagLifespanByBatteryAndBI as an average of NTQB-2 and NTQB-3-2. We warn about this so that the admin user gets a regular reminder of this situation. see: https://github.com/MotusDev/Motus-TO-DO/issues/327#issuecomment-414180027 and: https://github.com/jbrzusto/motusServer/issues/416
