hdrs: Calculate the HDR-based synchrony metric

In jmcalabrese/hdrs: Highest Density Region Synchrony Metric

Description

Calculate the HDR-based synchrony metric

Usage

hdrs(x, p = 80, nsim = 5000)

Arguments

p	A number indicating the percentage of individuals that have completed the focal activity. The default is 80.
nsim	The number of simulations used to esimtate the HDR. The default is 5000.

Value

A number representing the length of time it takes p percent of indivdiuals to complete the focal activity.

Note

The hdrs metric quantifies the amount of time it took for p percent of the sampled individuals to complete the specified activity (e.g., mating, calving, etc...). Therefore, a smaller hdrs value indicates a more synchronous population, while a larger hdrs value indicates less synchrony.

Examples

x <- rexp(25)
hdrs(x)
