brownian.motion.variance.dyn: Calculates the dynamic brownian motion variance

Description

A function to calculate the dynamic brownian motion variance for a movement track. It can be used by advanced programmers to program against.

Usage

"brownian.motion.variance.dyn"(object, location.error, window.size, margin)

Arguments

object

An object of the Move-class, that can be used for variance calculation. It needs to be in a flat coordinate system.

location.error

A numeric vector with the location error.

window.size

The window size used for the variance calculation.

margin

The margin size used for variance calculation.

Value

An object of the type dBMvariance is returned
