Additional information

MoveR aims to help users analyze the output of automated video-tracking solutions in a reproducible, reliable and open framework. In particular, MoveR can import, clean/filter and analyze raw particles/animal movement data obtained from video-tracking softwares. The analysis covers the characterization of behavioral states, computation of expected diffusion coefficient D (a proxy of population dispersal), and identification of arbitrary patterns.

Although focusing on video data, MoveR is an overarching package that could fit into "Pre-processing", "Post-processing", "Visualization", "Track description", "Behavioral pattern identification", and possibly "Others analyses of tracking data". The generality of the package (once tracking data are extracted from videos) needs to be explored.
