Individuals-Class: The Individuals class

In umd-lib/animalmove: Analysis of animal population-level movement patterns

Description

The Individuals object contains at least animal id, population type and xy coordinates of an animal. In order to analyze the temporal population patterns it should also have timestamp attribute. It can contain further attribute data such as sex or age.

Slots

data

belongs to the SpatialPointsDataFrame

id

a vector that indicates, which data, coordinates and timestamps belong to an individual

time

timestamps according to the coordinates

x

x coordinates

y

y coordinates

group.by

population type or species name (taxon name)

proj4string

projection of all coordinates

Methods

Methods defined with class "Individuals" in the signature:

summary

signature(object = "Individuals"): provides summary of Individuals object

subsample.reloc

signature(data = "Individuals", startTime, endTime, interval=c("24 hours","48 hours"),accuracy=c("3 mins","1 mins"),minIndiv=3,maxIndiv=4,mustIndiv=NULL, completeSetsOnly=TRUE, index.type): subsamples Individuals object within selected time period, time interval and accuracy

print

signature(x="Individuals"): provides summary of Individuals object

show.mcp

signature(x="Individuals", percent = 95, unin=c("m", "km"), unout=c("ha", "km2", "m2"), id): provides spatial extent, coordinate reference system and area of each Minimum Convex Polygon found in the Individuals object

rmi.index

signature(this="Individuals", percent = 95, unin=c("m", "km"), unout=c("ha", "km2", "m2"), id): computes Realized Mobility Index of the Individuals object

Note

Initial implementation of the package does not include export of this object to other packages to program against
