Using this function the user can transform the Argos diagnostic data for location
error into a form usable as a covariance matrix to approximate the location error with a
bivariate Gaussian distribution. The resulting data.frame should be attached back to the data
with cbind to use with the crwMLE function.
argosDiag2Cov(Major, Minor, Orientation)A data.frame with the following columns
The log standard deviation of the location error in the x coordinate
The log standard deviation of the location error in the x coordinate
The correlation of the bivariate location error ellipse
A vector containing the major axis information for each observation (na values are ok)
A vector containing the minor axis information for each observation (na values are ok)
A vector containing the angle orientation of the Major axis from North (na values are ok)
