This site provides a collection of statistical models to estimate position errors, movement model parameters, and most probable positions from tracking data. This project is a joint effort from Pelagic Fisheries Research Program (PFRP) of Joint Institute for Marine & Atmospheric Research, University of Hawaii at Manoa and Large Pelagics Research Center (LPRC).
Here we have selected a few key papers to understand the models better. For a more complete reading list, refer to our publication wiki page.
