Subject: 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,
--
