In MovingUngulate/Part: Ungulate Parturition Modeling and Predicting

Wrapper function to create all variables necessary to create ungulate parturition prediction models.

Part_Wrap(dat, projstring, dataset, saveby = "Study", time.zone, ncpus,
  folder, mean_date, bday_dat, idname = "UAID", sampsize = 80,
  prepBoots = 75, finBoots, imp = FALSE, part_type = "date",
  targ_time = 25, targ_dist = 300)

`dat`	cleaned movement data as data.frame
`projstring`	proj4string of dat projection
`dataset`	character vector shortname of dataset (eg. 'SMElk')
`saveby`	Either 'Animal' or 'Study'. Most should use 'Study'
`time.zone`	posix compliant time.zone character vector ('Etc/GMT-8')
`ncpus`	number of cpus to use for parallel processing (minimum 2)
`folder`	directory to store data in. If not created, function will create
`mean_date`	julian date (as.numeric) of the mean date of parturition for your animal/system.
`bday_dat`	data.frame with UAID and Date.of.Birth columns only
`idname`	Column name (character vector) for Unique animal ID column (default = 'UAID')
`sampsize`	Percent of animals to use to train model (default percent = 80)
`prepBoots`	bootstraps to use when preparing variables/model (~20 is sufficient)
`finBoots`	bootstraps to use when creating final model (200-1000)
`part_type`	character vector: 'date' assings all rows with the parturition date as the response, 'dist' searches targ_time either side of the date and assigns rows as response if distance of that fix is < targ_dist
`targ_time`	number defining how far to look either side of date when assigning parturition in hours (default is 25 or 1 day)
`targ_dist`	number determining how far away from birth location to assign as parturition (default is 300 meters)

List of length 2. 1) aggregates the model training - prediction results, 2) aggregates the predicted results to make a final prediction. Also saves all steps in /Results folder within the folder given to function
