Worth the effort? A practical examination of random effects in hidden Markov models for animal telemetry data

Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) that include individual‐level random effects have recently been promoted for inferring animal movement behaviour from biotelemetry data. These ‘mixed HMMs’ come at significant cost in terms of implementation and computation, and discrete random effects have been...
