In Pandora-IsoMemo/iso-app: Pandora & IsoMemo spatiotemporal modeling

Jitter latitude and longitude coordinates

Description

Given a latitude or longitude coordinate, return that coordinate jittered plus or minus a certain maximum amount. This function assumes a spherical earth when calculating the maximum amount to jitter.

Usage

jitter_latlong(coord, type = c("lat", "long"), latitude, km = 1)

Arguments

coord	The coordinate in degrees
type	Whether the coordinate is latitude or longitude
latitude	If the coordinate is longitude, then the latitude to use for calculating the maximum amount to jitter.
km	The maximum number of kilometers to jitter a point plus or minus.

Value

The jittered coordinate in degrees.

Examples

jitter_latlong(-73, type = "long", lat = 43, km = 1)
jitter_latlong(42, type = "lat", km = 1)
