Inference on state occupancy in covariate‐driven hidden Markov models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are natural and popular tools for analysing animal behaviour based on movement, acceleration and other sensor data. In particular, these models make it possible to infer how the animal's decision‐making process interacts with internal and external drivers by relating the probabilities of switching between distinct ...
