Objectives

This page hosts data and code related to the Step Selection Functions workshop given by Natasha Klappstein.

The workshop focuses on step selection functions (SSFs) and uses GPS data, but the principles will be applicable to anyone with acoustic positioning data. The workshop will cover an extension to formulating and fitting SSFs as generalized additive models, including non-linear and random effects, using the mgcv R package.

The Github repository for this workshop is at this link.
