This function provides a simple movement model that calculates the probability of movement between two locations according to the distance between them, using an logistic equation with pre-defined parameters.

pf_setup_movement_pr(distance, ...)

Arguments

distance

A numeric vector of distances (m).

...

Additional arguments (none implemented).

Value

The function returns a numeric vector of probabilities that represent the probability of movement between two or more areas given the distances between them.

Details

Under this model, for distance(s) 500 m, Pr(distance)=logistic(10+distance0.05); otherwise, Pr(distance)=0. This particular model is designed for flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and represents a reasonable model for the probability of moving a given distance in a two-minute period (in the absence of additional information).

This function is used as the default movement model in pf.
