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.
