Simulated HSF location data for demonstrating UHC plots
uhc_hsf_locsA data.frame with 2000 rows and 2 variables:
x-coordinate in UTM Zone 12 (EPSG: 32612)
Y-coordinate in UTM Zone 12 (EPSG: 32612)
These data were simulated assuming an ordinary habitat selection function (HSF), i.e., all points are independent rather than arising from an underlying movement model.
True parameter values are:
forage = log(5)/500 (resource)
temp^2 = -1 * log(2)/36 (condition; quadratic term)
temp = (log(2)/36) * 26 (condition; linear term)
pred = log(0.25)/5 (risk)
cover == "forest" = log(2) (grassland is intercept)
cover == "wetland" = log(1/2) (grassland is intercept)
Note: temp is modeled as a quadratic term, with the strongest selection
occurring at 13 °C and all other temperatures less selected.
Note: dist_to_water, dist_to_cent, and rand have no real effect
on our animal's selection and are included for demonstration purposes.
