Generates a quick visualization of relative error for home range or movement speed estimation from a single replicate of a movedesign workflow. This functions shows preliminary outputs only and should not be used to evaluate study design.

Use the output of md_run() (a movedesign_preprocess object). Users should run md_replicate() for a full assessment.

Usage

md_plot_preview(obj, error_threshold = 0.05, pal = c("#007d80", "#A12C3B"))

Arguments

obj

An object of class movedesign_preprocess (output of md_run()).

error_threshold

Numeric. Error threshold (e.g. 0.05 for 5%) to display as a reference in the plot.

pal

Character vector of two colors for within/outside threshold (default: c("#007d80", "#A12C3B")).

Value

A ggplot object displaying relative error by population sample size, with point estimate and confidence intervals for mean estimates, and horizontal error threshold lines.

Details

For robust results and credible intervals, use md_replicate().

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  input <- md_prepare(
    data = buffalo,
    models = models,
    species = "buffalo",
    n_individuals = 5,
    dur = list(value = 1, unit = "month"),
    dti = list(value = 1, unit = "day"),
    add_individual_variation = TRUE,
    grouped = TRUE,
    set_target = "hr",
    which_meta = "mean"
  )

  output <- md_run(input)
  md_plot_preview(output, error_threshold = 0.05)
}
