path2ctmc: Function to turn a discrete-time continuous-space path into a...

In ctmcMove: Modeling Animal Movement with Continuous-Time Discrete-Space Markov Chains

Description

This function takes a movement path defined by xyt values (not necessarily equally spaced in time), and converts it into a CTMC path (a continuous-time discrete-space path on grid cells in a raster).

Usage

path2ctmc(xy, t, rast)

Arguments

xy	A matrix of x,y locations at T time points.
t	A vector of T times associated with the T locations in "xy".
rast	A raster object or raster stack object that will define the discrete-space grid cells for the CTMC movement path.

Value

ec	A vector of the sequential grid cells (the embedded chain) in the CTMC movement path
rt	A vector of residence times in each sequential grid cell in the CTMC movement path
trans.times	A vector of times in which the movement path enters the grid cell in "ec".
