| satellite.model {tripEstimation} | R Documentation |
A model to manage likelihood functions, environmental masks and behavioural likelihood functions for pre-derived satellite locations. There are some options for configuration, but this may be considered a template for any given model. The model function exists simply to make the object construction simple.
day |
vector of date-times for each light level |
X |
matrix of pre-derived satellite locations |
proposal.x |
function from object managing X proposals |
proposal.z |
function from object managing Z proposals |
mask.x |
lookup function for X's against masks |
mask.z |
lookup function for Z's against masks |
fix.release |
logical - is the release point known? |
fix.recapture |
logical - is the recapture point known? |
start.x |
~~Describe start.x here~~ |
start.z |
~~Describe start.z here~~ |
posn.sigma |
variance for locations |
speed.dist |
distribution to use for behavioural constraint |
speed.mean |
mean to use for behavioural distribution |
speed.sd |
variance for behavioural distribution |
posn.sigma may be a single value for all estimates, or a vector of values for each position
estimate.
This function is not completely consistent with its solar counterpart solar.model.
These are working functions that are in constant development, but they are structurally
simple and may be easily edited as required.
