Multispecies interactions

Multispecies data can be used with spatsoc to estimate interspecific interactions, eg. predator-prey dyanmics.

Given two datasets of movement data, simply bind them together and use the group_* functions as usual.

predator <- fread(system.file("extdata", "DT_predator.csv", package = "spatsoc"))
prey <- fread(system.file("extdata", "DT_prey.csv", package = "spatsoc"))

DT <- rbindlist(list(predator, prey))

# Set the datetime as a POSIxct
DT[, datetime := as.POSIXct(datetime)]
