Hidden Markov models identify major movement modes in accelerometer and magnetometer data from four albatross species

Abstract Background Inertial measurement units (IMUs) with high-resolution sensors such as accelerometers are now used extensively to study fine-scale behavior in a wide range of marine and terrestrial animals. Robust and practical methods are required for the computationally-demanding analysis of t...
