Table 3.

Parameter estimates from three models fitted to a blue shark track. The Lower and Upper columns are the lower and upper bounds of 95% uncertainty intervals around the estimates. These correspond to 95% confidence intervals for the HMMM and moveHMM, and 95% credible intervals for the DCRWSNOME. The only two parameters in common among all three models are the switching probabilities, α1,1 and α2,1. Because this track had some step lengths equal to zero, the two parameters ζ1 and ζ2 were used to estimate zero‐inflation for each behavior when using moveHMM
