HR_Correction: Home range correction function

In NoonanM/HRcorrect: HRcorrect

Home range correction function

Description

Correct a 95% home range area estimates for the mass-specific bias in conventional estimators. The correction is based on the regressional analyses in Noonan et al. (2019) Body size dependent underestimation of home range areas. In prep.

Usage

HR_Correction(Area = NULL, Mass = NULL)

Arguments

Area	A home range area (units are preserved)
Mass	A mass in kg

Details

Returns a 95% home range area estimate corrected for the mass-specific bias in conventional estimators. If no area estimate is provided, the function instead returns a correction factor

Value

A matrix containing the original area estimate, the mass, and the corrected home range area +/- 95% confidence intervals.

Examples

#Supply the function with an area estimate and a mass in kg
HR_Correction(Area = 15, Mass = 10)


#If no area estimate is provided, the function instead returns a correction factor
HR_Correction(Mass = 10)
