Problem with PKDEs and CDE

[Zachary Aronson-Paxton]

Hi Chris/group!

I am working with a population of prey and a population of predators that overlap, and I am interested in using the cde() function to identify a population level UD of predicted encounter distribution. I am attempting to input two PKDE objects (a predator home range and a prey home range) into the cde() function but I am encountering a problem. 

From what I can tell, the cde() function is failing for my PKDEs because they do not have the same structure as AKDEs. In the PKDEs, the bandwidth is listed as "sigma" in the CTMM slot rather than the H slot of AKDEs. Thus, the cde() function is unable to find the bandwidth when running. Is there any way to rename/add slots to an already made UD? Or perhaps a way to change the structure of the PKDE while running so that the cde() function is able to access the bandwidth? 

It seems like there could be an easy fix to this problem that I am missing! If anyone has any ideas, I am open to all suggestions!

Thank you!

Zachary

Hi Zachary,

This should be fixed on GitHub.

Best,
