    Abstract

    We model two time and space scales discrete observations by using a unique
    continuous diffusion process with time dependent coefficient. We define new
    parameters for the large scale model as functions of the small scale
    distribution cumulants. We use the non - uniform distribution of the
    observation time intervals to obtain consistent and unbiased estimators for
    these parameters. Closed form expressions for migration proportions between
    spatial domains are derived as functions of these parameters. The models are
    applied to estimate migration patterns from satellite tag data.
