Add number of individuals as possible output value of `detectionHistory` function
Hi 👋
The function detectionHistory()
allows us to choose output
between the values "binary"
and "count"
, where "count"
is the counts of detections as described in the function documentation.
In the context of modelling research, @MartijnUH and @jimcasaer (Fauna management and Invasive Species team at INBO, Belgium) would like to add the number of individuals ("nind"
) as possible value of output
argument. See minimal example below:
Record table for a given date with the number of individuals added as extra column, see #25.
station | obsID | nIndividuals |
---|---|---|
A | 1 | 1 |
A | 2 | 3 |
B | 3 | 5 |
Detection history with output
= "count"
station | output |
---|---|
A | 2 |
B | 1 |
Detection history with the proposed new output
= "nind"
station | output |
---|---|
A | 4 |
B | 5 |
What do you think about it? I can work on this and send a PR if you wish.
