read.telemetry

Import Telemetry Fixes


Description

A shortcut function for constructing a telemetry capthist object from a file of telemetry fixes. Telemetry data are generally similar in format to polygon data (see also addTelemetry).

Usage

read.telemetry(file = NULL, data = NULL, covnames = NULL, verify = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

file

character name of text file

data

data.frame containing coordinate data (alternative to file)

covnames

character vector of names for individual covariates

verify

logical for whether to check input

...

other arguments passed to countfields, read.table etc.

Details

Input data may be in a text file (argument file) or a dataframe (argument data). Data should be in the XY format for function 'read.capthist' i.e. the first 5 columns should be Session, ID, Occasion, X, Y. Further columns are treated as individual covariates.

No ‘traps’ input is required. A traps object is generated automatically.

Value

An secr capthist object including attribute ‘telemetryxy’ with the x-y coordinates, and a ‘traps’ object with detector type = ‘telemetry’
