Bouts-class {diveMove}

Class "Bouts" for representing Poisson mixtures for identification of behavioural bouts

Description

Base class for storing key information for modelling and detecting bouts in behavioural data.

Slots

x

Object of class "numeric". Data to be modelled.

method

Object of class "character". A string indicating the type of frequency to calculate from x: "standard" or "seq.diff". If "standard", frequencies are calculated directly from x, and from the sequential differences in x otherwise.

lnfreq

Object of class data.frame. Columns named lnfreq (log frequencies) and x (mid points of histogram bins).

Objects from the class

Objects can be created most conveniently via the boutfreqs function, which sets the lnfreq slot, but can also be created via new("Bouts").
