Description
This function returns a list of biologically interesting parameters in human readable format, as derived from a continuous-time movement model.Usage
# S3 method for ctmm
summary(object,level=0.95,level.UD=0.95,units=TRUE,...)
Arguments
object
A ctmm movement-model object from the output of ctmm.fit.
level
Confidence level for parameter estimates.
level.UD
Confidence level for the Gaussian home-range area.
units
Convert result to natural units.
Value
If summary is called with a single ctmm object output from ctmm.fit, then a list is returned with effective sample size array DOF and parameter estimate table CI, with low, maximum likelihood, and high estimates for the following possible parameters:
tau- The autocorrelation timescales.
area- The Gaussian home-range area, where the point estimate has a significance level of
level.UD. I.e., the core home range is where the animal is located 50% of the time with level.UD=0.50.
This point estimate itself is subject to uncertainty, and is given confidence intervals derived from level.
speed- The Gaussian root-mean-square (RMS) velocity, which is a convenient measure of average speed.
If summary is called on a list of ctmm objects output from ctmm.select, then a table is returned with the model names and AIC differences, where "IID" denotes the uncorrelated bi-variate Gaussian model, "OU" denotes the continuous-position Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model, and "OUF" denotes the continuous-velocity Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-F model.
