dispersal_kernel: Create a dispersal kernel

Description

Create a dispersal kernel

Usage

dispersal_kernel(
  formula,
  coefs,
  habitat = NULL,
  other.vars = NULL,
  start,
  max.dist,
  init.dir = amt::as_rad(45),
  standardize = TRUE,
  raster = TRUE,
  stop = 0
)

Value

A list with the following entries

  • formula: The formula used to construct the dispersal kernel.

  • coefs: The selection coefficients.

  • habitat: Habitat covariates used to construct the dispersal kernel.

  • other.var: Other (time) varying covariates used to construct the dispersal kernel.

  • start: The start position.

  • max.dist: The maximum distance of the dispersal kernel.

  • init.dir: The initial direction of the dispersal kernel.

  • standardize: Whether or not the dispersal kernel was standardized.

  • raster: Should a RasterLayer be returned.

  • stop: What happens when the animal steps outside the landscape.

  • prep_dk: Metrics for each cell in the dispersal kernel (e.g., step length, direction, ...)

  • dispersal_kernel: A RasterLayer if raster = TRUE or a tibble of the dispersal kernel.

Arguments

formula

[formula]
The formula for the dispersal kernel.

coefs

[named numeric]{>1}
Coefficients for the terms in the formula. Names of the coefficients must match the name of the terms.

habitat

[RasterLayer]
The habitat matrix / landscape.

other.vars

[data.frame = NULL]
Possible other covariates.

start

[numeric(2)]
Coordinates of the start position.

max.dist

[numeric(1)]
The maximum distance of the dispersal kernel.

init.dir

[numeric(1)]
The initial direction in rad.

standardize

[logical(1) = TRUE]
Should the result be standardized.

raster

[logical(1) = TRUE]
Should a RasterLayer be returned.

stop

[integer(1)=1]{0,1}
What happens when the animal steps out of the landscape.
