This is a glossary of key arguments in patter
.
.map
.map
is SpatRaster

define inhospitable regions (such as land). A planar (Universal Transverse Mercator) projection with coordinates in metres is currently required.
.model_obs
.model_obs
is a character
that defines a ModelObs
sub-type.
.model_move
.model_move
is a character
string that defines a ModelMove
instance.
.state
.state
is a character
that defines a State
sub-type.
.yobs
.yobs
is a list
of observational datasets, one for each data type. Each element must be a data.table
with the following columns:
timestamp
---a POSIXct
vector of time stamps;
sensor_id
---an integer
vector of sensor IDs, such as receivers;
obs
---a vector of observations;
Additional columns that define the parameters of the observation model, as defined by a ModelObs
structure;
No other columns should be included.
For real-world analyses, see assemble
_*()
functions to format datasets as required. Other types of datasets require manual preparation.
