Functions for identifying, fitting, and applying continuous-space, continuous-time stochastic-process movement models to animal tracking data. The package is described in Calabrese & Fleming (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12559> and its models and methods are based on those introduced and detailed in Fleming & Calabrese et al (2014) <doi:10.1086/675504>, Fleming et al (2014) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12176>, Fleming et al (2015) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.91.032107>, Fleming et al (2015) <doi:10.1890/14-2010.1>, Fleming et al (2016) <doi:10.1890/15-1607>, Péron & Fleming et al (2016) <doi:10.1186/s40462-016-0084-7>, Fleming & Calabrese (2017) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12673>, Péron et al (2017) <doi:10.1002/ecm.1260>, Fleming et al (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.ecoinf.2017.04.008>, Fleming et al (2018) <doi:10.1002/eap.1704>, Winner & Noonan et al (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13027>, Fleming et al (2019) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13270>, Noonan & Fleming et al (2019) <doi:10.1186/s40462-019-0177-1>, Fleming et al (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.06.12.130195>, Noonan et al (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13597>, Fleming et al (2022) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13815>, Silva et al (2022) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13786>, and Alston & Fleming et al (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14025>.
