deer_data

This table contains the GPS locations of roe deer associated with habitat variables and temporal variables that were used to build a habitat model (RSF) for roe deer. The table is divided into used (actual) deer locations and random locations (loc_id=NA) in a ratio of 1:10 (column "use"). The table also includes an animal id. Swisstopo in the column headers refers to the source of the environmental variables. Cover swisstopo is a dummy variable for open/cover. Slope_sq and altitude_sq are the squared slope and altitude variables. Aspect swisstopoS is the southern exposition. Hum_indx is a composite of road_dist and house density. The 8 temporal variables are time harmonics of a Fourier transform for time of day (tsin, tcos, tsin2, tcos2; period of 24) and day of year(ytsin, ytcos, ytsin2, ytcos2; period of 365) All continuous variables in this table are mean centered and standardized to a SD=1.
