lhs.visit.add: Add time use hull metrics to a LoCoH-hullset object

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

Description

Computes visitation and duration hull metrics based on inter-visit gap value(s)

Usage

lhs.visit.add(lhs, ivg = NULL, check_samp_int = TRUE, status = TRUE)

Arguments

lhs	A LoCoH-hullset object
ivg	Value(s) for inter-visit gap (in seconds) (numeric vector)
check_samp_int	Whether or not to check whether ivg is greater than the median sampling interval. T/F.
status	Show status messages. T/F.

Value

A LoCoH-hullset object

Note

The inter-visit gap is the period of time (in seconds) which must pass before another occurrence in the hull can be considered a separate visit. Occurences in the hull are considered a separate visit only if the animal was absent from the hull for a period of time >= ivg.

For each ivg value, the function examines each hull and computes the number of separate visits to the hull (visitation, hull metric name = "nsv") and the mean number of locations per visit (visit duration, hull metric name = "mnlv")
