Compute sinuosity index from precomputed vectors
Usage
compute_sinuosity(
mean_step_length,
mean_cos_turning,
method = c("corrected", "original")
)
Arguments
- mean_step_length
Numeric vector of mean step lengths within window
- mean_cos_turning
Numeric vector of mean cosine of turning angles
- method
Either "corrected" (Benhamou 2004) or "original" (Bovet & Benhamou 1988)
Value
Numeric vector of sinuosity values
Examples
compute_sinuosity(mean_step_length = 1.2, mean_cos_turning = 0.8)
#> [1] 0.6085806
# The original formulation, for comparison with older work
compute_sinuosity(1.2, 0.8, method = "original")
#> [1] 4.082483
