include_hab_cov: Logical; whether to include habitat covariates
include_ind_cov: Logical; whether to include individual-level covariates
hab_cov_names: Character vector of habitat covariate column names
ind_cov_names: Character vector of individual-level covariate column names
include_cell_effect: Logical; whether to include spatial cell effect
grid_bounds: Named list with xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax (only required if include_cell_effect = TRUE)
grid_res: Grid resolution in meters (required if include_cell_effect = TRUE), please make sure that the grid bounds are divisible by the grid resolution

Value
