Migration and Movement – The Next Stage

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Environmental and Ecological Statistics ((ENES,volume 3))

Abstract

The design and analysis of multi-state studies when the states are discrete entities is now well understood with several robust software packages (e.g. M-Surge, MARK) available. However, recent technological advances in radio and archival tags will provide very rich datasets with very fine details on movement. Current methods for the analysis of such data often discretize the data to very coarse states. This paper will review the current state of the art on the analysis of such datasets and make some (bold) forecasts of future directions for the analysis of these data.
