[R-sig-eco] FPT and Adehabitat

Thank you so much - you have been a huge help.  I have followed you recommendation and now I have my trajectories sampled at an equal time period and the missing values entered as NAs.  To continue with my analysis I have been trying to find a way to output the object of class ltraj (in this case yaya3) so I can see where R has placed the NAs and the corresponding co-ordinates of points with FP values (to allow spatial analysis).  However I can only find a function to plot the positions of NAs  - the final hurdle!

Many Thanks again

Sam

Actually, when you use redisltraj, you redicretize your trajectory so
that the step length is constant (you fix it to 500 metres). Your
original dataset has 139 relocations, but when you rediscretize the
trajectory, you increase the number of relocations. Indeed, have a look
at the contents of ayayGPS:

 > ayayGPS

*********** List of class ltraj ***********

Type of the traject: Type II (time recorded)
Irregular traject. Variable time lag between two locs

Characteristics of the bursts:
   id    burst nb.reloc NAs          date.begin            date.end
1 6.2 6.2.R500      295   0 2006-06-21 15:09:48 2006-06-21 21:16:01

There are 295 relocations in your new trajectory. This explains why the
fpt returns a data frame with 295 data points. Now the question is: why
do you rediscretize the trajectory? You note that "The timing of bursts
is not constant". This is expected: the function redisltraj does not
transform an irregular trajectory into a regular one (the help page of
this function indicates that it is used for "Rediscretization of a
Trajectory With Regular Step Length").

Looking at the time lag between successive relocations:

plotltr(yaya,"dt/60")

it appears that a relocation was collected approximately every 2 min...
and that there are missing values. Two points are important here:

* there should be missing values in the trajectory at several places.
Therefore the function setNA may be useful here to fill in these NAs
(have a look at the help page of the function setNA):

yaya2 <- setNA(yaya, as.POSIXct("2010-01-01"), 2, units="min")

have a look at yaya2:

 > yaya2

*********** List of class ltraj ***********

Type of the traject: Type II (time recorded)
Irregular traject. Variable time lag between two locs

Characteristics of the bursts:
   id burst nb.reloc NAs          date.begin            date.end
1 6.2   6.2      195  56 2006-06-21 15:09:48 2006-06-21 21:37:55

The number of relocations have increased (there are now 195 relocations,
because 56 are missing)

* the timings are only approximate. We can "round" the timing to make
the trajectory exactly regular (see the help page of sett0):

yaya3 <- sett0(yaya2, as.POSIXct("2010-01-01"), 2, units="min")

yaya3 is now exactly regular:

 > yaya3

*********** List of class ltraj ***********

Type of the traject: Type II (time recorded)
Regular traject. Time lag between two locs: 120 seconds

Characteristics of the bursts:
   id burst nb.reloc NAs          date.begin            date.end
1 6.2   6.2      195  56 2006-06-21 15:10:00 2006-06-21 21:38:00

the time lag between relocations is now constant. This dataset yaya3
contains only the original relocations (with rounded timings) + missing
values.
 **But note that the step length is no longer constant** (but why do you
need constant step length in FPT analysis?). Finally use the function fpt:

fptshort <- fpt(yaya3, seq(5000,30000, length=6))

Hope this helps

>> I am calculating First Passage Time for GPS movements.  The code all runs fine and R recognises that an individual, for example, has 139 relocations.  However when I then view the FPT output there are 295 data points.  I have checked back and the data file, the imported data and  the number of time points all equal 139.  In the help it says that the FPT output is a data frame per individual with a row for each relocation so I cannot understand why it is outputting so many rows.  This happens for many individuals but there doesn't not seem to be any pattern in the number of output rows and occurs if I run individuals separately.  Has anyone ever come across this or have any ideas?
