convex.home.range: Estimate home range for a movement parameter

In pwhigham/spatibm: A Spatial Individual-based model for land-based organisms

Description

Given an initial population and movement table, simulate the movement of the population, starting at the origin, using move.table for timesteps. The resulting table gives the convex hull area for each individual in the population. The purpose of this function is to help relate a estimated organism home range to the movement paramters for the model. Note that the window for pop determines the constraints of movement. Individuals that move outside the population window are removed. The model also commences with the individuals at (0,0), so windows should be centred around the origin.

Usage

convex.home.range(pop, move.table, timesteps = 5)

Arguments

pop	The population
move.table	The movement table
timesteps	The number of times movement is applied to each individual.

Value

Vector of convex-hull areas of length pop$n representing the movement for each individual.
