latticeDensity (version 1.2.7)

homerange: Produces a homerange map.

Description

homerange produces a map of the homerange, for any given percentage. The homerange contains the smallest number of nodes with total density greater than the percent. This function is illustrated in Barry and McIntyre (2011).

Usage

homerange(densityOut, percent = 0.95, output = FALSE, show = TRUE)

Value

A list of two vectors used for mapping:

• nodes The coordinates of all nodes in the model

• ind Indicator functions, is the location in the homerange?

Arguments

densityOut

A densityOut object, produced by createDensity.

percent

the sum of the probabilities of all nodes in the homerange exceeds this value.

output

if TRUE, the function returns a matrix containing, for each node, a location (first two columns) and whether the node is in the homerange.

show

if FALSE, suppresses printing the area
