stagevec: Convenience function for building a vector for dive stages

In jmhewitt/dsdive: Discrete Space Models for Dive Trajectories of Animals

Description

Several functions in the dsdive package have a record of dive stages as one of the function's arguments. However, this information is not always available. For example, dive stage information is a latent variable so is not included with observational data.

Usage

stagevec(length.out, breaks)

Arguments

length.out	Length of vector to generate
breaks	Location of changepoints

Details

The stagevec function makes it easy to generate a vector of dive stages, like c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3). Users only need to provide a target length length.out and the indices at which the stage changes breaks.

Examples

stagevec(length.out = 30, breaks = c(7, 20))
