Compute E_max (maximum expected displacement) from pre‑computed vectors

Usage

compute_emax(mean_cos_turning, mean_step_length = NULL, dimensional = FALSE)

Arguments

mean_cos_turning

Numeric vector of mean cosine of turning angles.

mean_step_length

Numeric vector of mean step lengths (required if dimensional = TRUE).

dimensional

Logical. If TRUE, returns E_max in spatial units; otherwise returns the dimensionless ratio.

Value

Numeric vector of E_max values (same length as mean_cos_turning), with NA for invalid inputs and Inf for perfectly straight paths.
