generates a fake flight data. it's all random so it doesn't behave like an actual bird.

Description

generates a fake flight data. it's all random so it doesn't behave like an actual bird.

Usage

generateRandomFlight(
  origin = c(0, 0),
  names = "csg",
  obs = 1000,
  maxturn = 15,
  timestep = 3600,
  timestart = Sys.time(),
  multi = 1/500,
  rand = stupidRnorm,
  fakemisc = TRUE,
  n = NULL
)

Arguments

origin:	numeric vector of length 2, the coordinates where bird will start
names:	character, "csg" or "movebank", depending on how you want the columns of the resulting data to be named
obs:	numeric, number of observations to create
maxturn:	numeric, the maximum change in heading in each step (measured in degrees). can turn maxturn left or right.
timestep:	numeric, the number of seconds between each observation
timestart:	POSIXct, the time you want the first observation to be
multi:	numeric, the distance the bird travels in each observation (in change in lat/long) will be a random number in [0,multi)
rand:	function, a function that generates random numbers in [0,1], where the first parameter is the number of numbers to generate
fakemisc:	boolean, if you want to fake the other columns needed for bank()
n:	numeric, the Animal_ID or NULL to randomize it
