index of eccentricity
Dear list, I would like to calculate an index of eccentricity (ECC) of an animal's home range (a polygon determined with adehabitat package and then exported as shapefile). ECC=l/w, where 'l' is the maximum lenght of the polygon, and 'w' is the maximum width of the polygon. Could you suggestme any package that implements this function or that could help me to compute 'l' and 'w'? Thank you,
