We introduce a new multivariate circular linear distribution suitable for modeling direction and speed in (multiple) animal movement data. To properly account for specific data features, such as heterogeneity and time dependence, a hidden Markov model is used. Parameters are estimated under a Bayesian framework and we provide computational details to implement the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. The proposed model is applied to a dataset of six free-ranging Maremma Sheepdogs. Its…

Distributions-oriented wind forecast verification by a hidden Markov model for multivariate circular–linear data
TLDR
This work proposes a comprehensive model-based inferential approach to investigate the ability of the WRF system to forecast the local wind speed and direction allowing different performances for unknown weather regimes, and provides useful insights on the performance of WRF forecasts in relation to different combinations of windspeed and direction.

Bayesian hidden Markov modelling using circular‐linear general projected normal distribution
We introduce a multivariate hidden Markov model to jointly cluster time‐series observations with different support, that is, circular and linear. Relying on the general projected normal distribution,…

Spatio-temporal circular models with non-separable covariance structure
TLDR
This work accommodates covariates, implements full kriging and forecasting, and also allows for a nugget which can be time dependent, within a Bayesian framework, to facilitate Markov chain Monte Carlo model fitting.
Bayesian Inference for Skew-normal Linear Mixed Models
Linear mixed models (LMM) are frequently used to analyze repeated measures data, because they are more flexible to modelling the correlation within-subject, often present in this type of data. The…

TLDR
A number of extensions of HMMs for animal movement modeling are described, including more flexible state transition models and individual random effects (fitted in a non-Bayesian framework).

Continuous-time discrete-space models for animal movement
TLDR
A continuous-time discrete-space (CTDS) model of animal movement that can be fit using standard generalized linear modeling (GLM) methods is presented, which allows for the joint modeling of location-based as well as directional drivers of movement.
