HLC is a continuous framework for quantifying group-level behavioural cohesion from between-animal dispersion within observation intervals. The package implements standard deviation, mean absolute deviation, interquartile range, and entropy formulations, lying-weighted extensions, threshold-based synchrony comparisons, temporal summaries, and descriptive method-ranking tools. The HLC formulations are introduced in this package; related approaches to cattle behavioural synchrony include Raussi et al. (2011) , Kok et al. (2023) , and the activity metric framework of van Dixhoorn et al. (2024) . authors: - family-names: Amorim Franchi given-names: Guilherme email: gaf@anivet.au.dk orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7653-6512 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'HLCtools: Calculate Herd Lying Concordance Metrics' authors: - family-names: Amorim Franchi given-names: Guilherme email: gaf@anivet.au.dk orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7653-6512 year: '2026' notes: R package version 0.1.0.
