Dear all,
I have just uploaded to CRAN the version 1.4 of the
package 'adehabitat'. Significant changes are
listed below:
- The eigenanalysis of selection ratios (Calenge and Dufour, 2006, Ecology)
can now be performed using the function eisera(). It can be used for
the analysis of
habitat selection when habitat can be considered to consist of several
habitat types
(e.g. vegetation types).
- A new class, the class "ltraj", is now available for the analysis of
trajectories of animals
(e.g. for the analysis of data collected using GPS collars). This
class automatically
computes the turning angles between successive moves, the absolute
angles for each move,
the speeds and the net squared displacement for each relocation. This
class is to be
prefered to the class "traj". The class "traj" is now
deprecated.
Note that the data set "puechcirc" is now of the class ltraj.
- The functions making the interface with the package "sp" have been
updated: 'area2spol'
converts an object of class 'area' into an object of class
'SpatialPolygons'. 'spol2area' converts
an object of class 'SpatialPolygons' or
'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame'
into an object of class 'area'.
'attpol2area' gets the data attribute of an object of class
'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame'
and stores is into a data frame. 'traj2spdf' converts an object of
class 'traj' into an object of
class 'SpatialPointsDataFrame'. 'traj2sldf' converts an
object of
class 'traj' into an object of
class 'SpatialLinesDataFrame'.
- The function enfa() has been modified:
The old components "co" and "l1" have been removed from
objects of
class "enfa", as they did not rely
on solid mathematical theory. The old component "c1" is now named
"co", and corresponds to
the scores of habitat variables in the enfa (the squared norm of this
vector is equal to 1 for
the identity metric). As previously, the component "li" stores the
scores of the resource units
in the ENFA.
- The function df2kasc now accept objects of class "kasc" with one
column.
- That's all, thanks for reading !
Questions, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Happy testing,
Cl??ment Calenge
