lhs.ellipses.add: Compute hull bounding ellipses

In tlocoh: Constructs homeranges and explores time use patterns from location data

Description

Creates bounding ellipses around each hull and computes the eccentricity as a metric of ellongation

Usage

lhs.ellipses.add(lhs, id = NULL, k = NULL, r = NULL, a = NULL,
  s = NULL, hs.names = NULL, status = TRUE, beep = FALSE,
  save.ellipses = TRUE, existing.ellipses = c("overwrite", "abort")[1])

Arguments

lhs	A LoCoH-hullset object
id	The name(s) of individuals to analyze
k	The k value of hullsets to analyze
r	The r value of hullsets to analyze
a	The a value of hullsets to analyze
s	The s value of hullsets to analyze
hs.names	The name(s) of saved hullsets to analyze
status	Show status messages (T/F)
beep	Beep when done (T/F)
save.ellipses	Save ellipses in the lhs object? (T/F). If False, only the eccentricity values of the ellipses are saved as a hull metric.
existing.ellipses	Whether to overwrite or abort if existing ellipses are saved

Value

A LoCoH-hullset object

Note

Saving the ellipses is optional. If ellipses are not saved, the eccentricity values will still be computed and saved as a hull metric. The only real reason to save ellipses is if you wish to plot them.

Note creating ellipses is computationally intensive and can take a long time.
