Estimate movement speed for simulated movement data

Calculates continuous-time speed and distance (CTSD) for each simulated movement dataset using its corresponding fitted movement model with ctmm::speed(). This function is designed for simulation workflows where speed metrics are required for each simulated individual.

Usage

estimate_speed(rv)

Arguments

rv

A reactiveValues list containing, at a minimum:

• simList: A list of simulated movement datasets (e.g., telemetry tracks).

• simfitList: A list of fitted movement models, each corresponding to an entry in simList.

Each element in simList should be compatible with ctmm::speed(), and each model in simfitList should correspond to its respective simulated dataset.

Value

A named list of speed estimates (ctmm objects), with one entry per simulation.For any simulation where speed estimation fails (e.g., due to model fitting issues or incompatible data), NULL is returned for that entry and omitted from the final output.

Note

This function is intended for internal use and may assume inputs follow specific structure and constraints not referenced explicitly.
