The code also provides a sampling 'check' function to determine <i> </i>µ from the relationship between the log of the step length frequencies and the log of the step lengths (corrected for the appropriate binning procedure as discussed in <a href="appendix-A.htm">Appendix A</a> and the main text of the paper). The tracksim.txt R code uses the idealized Lévy flight power-law tail probability density function to simulate animal movement tracks over 365 days assuming random turn angles after each step.</p>
