The swaRmverse
package provides a pipeline for the comparative
analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon
troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS
trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of
collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize
each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional 'swarm space'
constructed from these metrics.
