Generate random points within space use estimates from calculate_space_use

Usage

generate_random_points_in_space_use(
  space_use_results,
  track_data,
  method = "constrained_convex_hull",
  n_points = 100,
  fish_ids = NULL,
  time_periods = NULL,
  reference_raster = NULL,
  time_bin_size = 3600,
  point_generation_method = "random"
)

Arguments

space_use_results: Output list from calculate_space_use function
track_data: Original track data used for calculate_space_use (needed for polygon creation)
method: Space use method to use for point generation ("constrained_convex_hull", "convex_hull", "bounding_box", "95_ellipse", "grid_cell_count")
n_points: Number of random points to generate per group (default: 100)
fish_ids: Which fish IDs to include (default: all available)
time_periods: Which time periods to include (default: all available)
reference_raster: Optional reference raster for grid-based methods
time_bin_size: Time bin size for standardizing track data (default: 3600)
point_generation_method: How to generate points within polygons ("random", "grid", "stratified")

Value

Data frame with random points including fish_id, time_period, x, y coordinates, and method used
