Query: A Bayesian Markov model with P\'olya-Gamma sampling for estimating
  individual behavior transition probabilities from accelerometer
  classifications   The use of accelerometers in wildlife tracking provides a fine-scale data
source for understanding animal behavior and decision-making. Current methods
in movement ecology focus on behavior as a driver of movement mechanisms. Our
Markov model is a flexible and efficient method for inference related to
effects on behavior that considers dependence between current and past
behaviors. We applied this model to behavior data from six greater
white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons frontalis) during spring migration in
mid-continent North America and considered likely drivers of behavior,
including habitat, weather and time of day effects. We modeled the transitions
between flying, feeding, stationary and walking behavior states using a
first-order Bayesian Markov model. We introduced P\'olya-Gamma latent variables
for automatic sampling of the covariate coefficients from the posterior
distribution and we calculated the odds ratios from the posterior samples. Our
model provides a unifying framework for including both acceleration and Global
Positioning System data. We found significant differences in behavioral
transition rates among habitat types, diurnal behavior and behavioral changes
due to weather. Our model provides straightforward inference of behavioral time
allocation across used habitats, which is not amenable in activity budget or
resource selection frameworks.
