essieMean: Essie locations

In SWotherspoon/SGAT: Solar/Satellite Geolocation for Animal Tracking

Essie locations

Description

Compute posterior mean or mode locations from an Essie fit

Usage

essieMean(obj, type = c("full", "forward", "backward"))

essieCircularMean(obj, type = c("full", "forward", "backward"))

essieMode(obj, type = c("full", "forward", "backward"))

Arguments

obj	a fitted object generated by essie
type	whether to return the full estimate or just the estimate from the forward or backward pass of the algorithm.

Details

These functions compute the posterior mean or posterior mode locations for each time point from and Essie fit. The essieCircularMean function assumes the computational grid is in (lon,lat) projection and computes a circular mean for longitude.

Value

a list with elements

times	the times corresponding to the location estimates.
x	a two column matrix of positions.
