[Qgis-user] Home Range calculation using Kernel density

[Giovanni Manghi]

Hi,

if you are windows user installing all the pieces (QGIS + R + a bunch of
R libraries) can be tricky, so have a look at this screencast that shows
how do do that

remember that in QGIS you have also a "triangulation" plugin, that
allows you to calculate animal fixes given operator locations and
bearings.


See also the QGIS wiki page on this matter
