summary.traps: Summarise Detector Array
Description
Concise description of traps object.
Usage
# S3 method for traps
summary(object, getspacing = TRUE, covariates = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for summary.traps
print(x, terse = FALSE, ...)
Value
An object of class summary.traps, a list with elements
- detector
detector type ("single", "multi", "proximity" etc.)
- ndetector
number of detectors
- xrange
range of x coordinates
- yrange
range of y coordinates
- spacing
mean distance from each trap to nearest other trap
- usage
table of usage by occasion
- covar
summary of covariates
Arguments
- object
traps object
- getspacing
logical to calculate spacing of detectors from scratch
- covariates
logical; if true each covariate is summarised
- x
summary.traps object
- terse
if TRUE suppress printing of usage and covariate summary
- ...
arguments passed to other functions
Details
When object includes both categorical (factor) covariates and
usage, usage is tabulated for each level of the covariates.
Computation of spacing (mean distance to nearest trap) is slow
and may hit a memory limit when there are many traps. In this case, turn
off the computation with getspacing = FALSE.
