adehabitatLT -- movement based kernel density

1 message · Juliane Struve

Dear list,
?
I am intersted in estimating movement based kernel densities for fish that were relocated at fixed receivers positioned along the coast. These data tend to display both a drift movment between receivers and a random movement component that can be estimated from the mean and the variance of the transit time between receivers. ?If I obtain an estimate of the diffusion coefficient from multiple observations how can I use it to predict the movement based kernel distribution between two receivers ? So rather than estimating the diffusion coeffiient from the data as demonstrated in the documentation for adehabitatLT I would like to use BRB.D() to visualize the kernel distribution between two locations based on known movement parameters, or at least explore the idea. However, I am not sure how to proceed. Below is an example of the type of data I am working with.
?
I would be grateful for some thoughts or suggstions.

Regards,
