move (version 4.2.4)

MoveStack-class: The MoveStack class

Description

The MoveStack object is a stack of move objects. A MoveStack object can be created with the functions move, moveStack, getMovebankData or getDataRepositoryData

Arguments

Slots

bbox

belongs to the SpatialPointsDataFrame

citation

Object of class "character": how to cite the study, when Movebank data are used

coords

coordinates of the track, belongs to the SpatialPointsDataFrame

coords.nrs

belongs to the SpatialPointsDataFrame

data

Object of class "data.frame": additional data associated to the coordinates

dataUnUsedRecords

Object of class "data.frame": data associated to the unused records

dateCreation

Object of class "POSIXct": timestamp when the MoveStack object was created

idData

Object of class "data.frame": additional (one row) data. These data contain information associated to the animal

license

Object of class "character": the license under which the data were published, when Movebank data are used

proj4string

Object of class "CRS": projection of the coordinates

sensor

Object of class "factor": sensors used to record the coordinates

sensorUnUsedRecords

Object of class "factor": sensors used to record the unused records

study

Object of class "character": name of the study, when Movebank data are used

timestamps

Object of class "POSIXct": timestamps associated to the coordinates

timestampsUnUsedRecords

Object of class "POSIXct": timestamps associated to the unused records, i.e. lines of the data that were removed because they included NA locations

trackId

Object of class "factor": vector that indicates, which data, coordinates and timestamps belong to each individual

trackIdUnUsedRecords

Object of class "factor": vector that indicates, which data, coordinates and timestamps of the unused records belong to each individual

Methods
