Statistical tests for analysing directed movement of self-organising animal groups.

摘要: We discuss some theory concerning directional data and introduce a suite of statistical tools that researchers interested in the movement animal groups can use to analyse results from their models. illustrate these by analysing model moving under duress certain informed indistinguishable individuals, arises context honeybee (Apis mellifera) swarming behaviour. modify an existing collective motion, based on inter-individual social interactions, allowing knowledgeable individuals guide group members goal travelling through direct line aligned with direction.
