Simulate a known movement track for subsequent estimation using YAPS

Produces a simulated regular time-spaced track following the specified movement model. Linear movement between consecutive observations is assumed. The output contains x, y, time and sound speed at each simulated position.

simTrueTrack(
  model = "rw",
  n,
  deltaTime = 1,
  D = NULL,
  shape = NULL,
  scale = NULL,
  addDielPattern = TRUE,
  ss = "rw",
  start_pos = NULL
)

Arguments

model	Movement model: 'rw': Two-dimension random walk (X,Y)
n	Number of steps in the simulated track
deltaTime	Number of time units (seconds) between each location
D	Diffusivity of the animal movement - only used if model='rw'
shape	Shape of the Weibull distribution - only used when model='crw'.
scale	Scale of the Weibull distribution - only used when model='crw'.
addDielPattern	Adds a realistic(?) diel pattern to movement. Periods of both low and high movement
ss	Simulations model for Speed of Sound - defaults to 'rw' = RW-model.
start_pos	Specify the starting position of the track with c(x0, y0)

Value

Dataframe containing a simulated track
