Value

• The function returns a numeric vector with the time lags.

Details

Optionally the argument units can be passed on to ensure the time lag in a certain unit, this is especially useful in case a move stack is bursted. For more information on the units argument see the help of difftime.

Examples

load(system.file("extdata", "move.RData", package="move"), .GlobalEnv)
stack <- moveStack(list(leroy,leroy))

head(time.lag(leroy)) #calculate timelags for a Move object
head(time.lag(stack)) #calculate timelags for a MoveStack object
head(time.lag(stack, units="hours")) #calculate timelags in different units
