Takes a data.frame of time-stamped locations and store it in an object of class Data4M for further processing. Otherwise takes an object and coerces it to class Data4M.

Usage

data4M(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Data4M'
initialize(.Object, Identification = list(),
  Data = data.frame(Date = .POSIXct(numeric(0)), Lon = numeric(0), Lat =
  numeric(0)))

## S4 method for signature 'data.frame'
data4M(x, Identification = list())

## S4 method for signature 'Model4M'
data4M(x)

Arguments

x	An object to coerce to class Data4M. If a data.frame, it must contain at least the columns Date, Longitude, and Latitude. These column names can be shortened e.g., Lat.
Identification	An optional argument of any type to help the user identify the data set.
