compareTimes {activity} | R Documentation |
Compare activity between times of day
Description
Uses a Wald test to statistically compare activity levels at given radian times of day for a fitted activity distribution.
Usage
compareTimes(fit, times)
Arguments
fit |
Fitted |
times |
Numeric vector of radian times of day at which to compare activity levels. All pairwise comparisons are made. |
Details
Bootrapping the activity model yields standard error estimates for the PDF. This function uses these SEs to compute a Wald statistic for the difference between PDF values (by inference activity levels) at given times of day: statistic W = (a1-a2)^2 / (SE1^2+SE2^2) tested on chi-sq distribution with 1 degree of freedom.
Value
A matrix with 4 columns: 1. differences between PDF values; 2. SEs of the differences; 3. Wald statistics; 4. p-values (H0 is no difference between estimates). Matrix rows give all possible pairwise comparisons, numbered in the order in which they appear in vector times
.
Examples
data(BCItime)
tPaca <- 2*pi*BCItime$time[BCItime$species=="paca"]
fPaca <- fitact(tPaca, sample="data", reps=10)
plot(fPaca)
compareTimes(fPaca, c(5.5,6,0.5,1))
