Overview

About

Maintained by Liz AD Campbell2 releasesCRAN page ↗

Bayesian parametric generalized circular mixed effect mixture models (GCMMs) for estimating animal activity patterns from camera trap data and other nested data structures using 'JAGS', including automatic Bayesian k-cluster selection and random circular intercepts for nested data. The GCMM function automatically selects the number of components for the mixture model (supporting up to 4 mixture components) based on a Bayesian linear finite normal mixture model and fits a Bayesian parametric circular mixed effect mixture model with one or two random effects as random circular intercepts with a a von Mises or wrapped Cauchy distribution. Provides graphs of the combined mixture model or separate mixture components. Functionality is provided to allow quantitative comparisons between model parameters. See Campbell et al. (in press) It's time to expand our analyses of animal activity; Campbell et al. (in press) Temporal and microspatial niche partitioning; Campbell et al. (in press) A novel approach to comparing animal activity patterns. News, updates, and tutorials will be available on www.atlasgoldenwolf.org/stats and www.github.com/LizADCampbell .

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/activityGCMM/activityGCMM_1.1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "activityGCMM_1.1.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.1.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-activitygcmm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-activityGCMM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
