Based on cleaned capture history, determines furthest location of each tag along possible paths.

estimateFinalLoc(
  filtered_obs = NULL,
  incl_site_code = F,
  cth_file = NULL,
  file_type = c("PTAGIS", "Biologic_csv", "raw")
)

Arguments

filtered_obs

Tibble returned by `filterDetections()`.

incl_site_code

Should the PTAGIS site code of final location be returned? Default is `FALSE`.

cth_file

is the path to the complete tag history file

file_type

describes the source of the complete tag history file.

If PTAGIS, then cth_file should be a PTAGIS observation file downloaded as a csv from PTAGIS. This must be the output from a Complete Tag History query (part of the Advanced Reporting). This query should contain: Tag, Mark Species, Mark Rear Type, Event Type, Event Site Type, Event Site Code, Event Date Time, Antenna, Antenna Group Configuration, Event Release Site Code, and Event Release Date Time.

If Biologic_csv, that implies the data was downloaded from Biologic software in a .csv format.

If raw, that implies the data was downloaded directly from the reader, in either a .log or .xlsx format. In this case, the largest string containing alphabetic characters in the file name will be assigned as the site code.
