emf

Description

emf

Usage

emf(
  gps = 0.1,
  emf.x = c(1, 1.54, 3.72, 13.51, 23.9, 44.22),
  emf.y = c(1, 1.29, 2.55, 14.99, 22, 32.53)
)

Arguments

gps	error multiplication factor(s) for GPS locations, can be a scalar (x = y) or vector of length 2 (x != y)
emf.x	error multiplication factors for Argos longitude classes 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B (Z assumed equal to B)
emf.y	error multiplication factors for Argos latitude classes 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B (Z assumed equal to B)

Details

Error Multiplication Factors for Argos (and GPS) locations. Default assumption is that GPS locations are 10x more accurate than Argos lc 3 in both x and y directions.

User-specified Error Multiplication Factors (emf). emf's must be provided as a data.frame with the following columns:

emf.x emf values for the x direction

emf.y emf values for y direction

lc location class designations

The location class designations can be the standard Argos lc values: 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, Z or other values. The number of classes specified is flexible though may not be amenable to a large number of classes. Whatever class designations are chosen must also appear in the input data lc column. A GPS location class ("G") is provided by default and assumes that GPS locations are 10 x more precise than Argos lc 3 locations.
