locate_shift function

Interactive locating of range shifting

Plots an x-y, time-x, time-y track of a potential migration process and prompts the user to click on the figure to obtain initial estimates of range centroids and timing of start and end of migrations.

locate_shift(time, x, y, n.clust = 2, ...)

Arguments

• time: time (can be a POSIXt)
• x: x and y coordinates. Can be two separate vectors OR a complex "x" OR a two-column matrix/date-frame.
• y: see x
• n.clust: number of ranges (either 2 or 3)
• ...: additional parameters to pass to plot functions

Returns

a named vector of initial estimates: if n.clust = 2, c(x1, x2, y1, y2, t1, dt) if n.clust = 3, c(x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, y3, t1, t2, dt1, dt2)
