Hi Folks,
I am using QGIS 2.8.1 an want to calculate some kernel home ranges.
I installed the addon animove 1.4.2 and tested it on several datasets. MCP works quite well, but kernel density leads to strange (and obviously wrong) results. When I run it it results not in a single home range of specific UD, but in 10 different (I assume in 10%-steps between 90 and 10). These shapes are always the same, regardless of my input in animove. Sometimes these home ranges are far too large and have core areas, where no location points are around.
Can anyone help me?
Unfortunately I have no Idea of Python or coding (someone called me recently a BDU)... ;-)
I do not use the plugin, but I read in the plugin page (http://www.faunalia.eu/en/animove.html): "Please note: the plugin works on QGIS 1.8, not on 2.0. If you are interested in upgrading it, please contact us." There is a page "mailing list": http://hub.qgis.org/projects/animoveforsextante.
Hi Gabriela,
this explains my problems... thank you. Seems as if I have to install another version of QGIS.
Or is there the possibility to implement some R scripts in QGIS?
Hi Philip,
for "Creating R scripts" in QGIS see this page: http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/processing/3rdParty.html
you should look into dBBMM instead. QGIS is not really too si\uitable for calculating home ranges. You can get geometric calculations of used area but you will not take into account the auto-correlation of the data if the sampling is highly frequent.
