augmented_recording: Applies augmented interval recording to a behavior stream

In ARPobservation: Tools for Simulating Direct Behavioral Observation Recording Procedures Based on Alternating Renewal Processes

Applies augmented interval recording to a behavior stream

Description

Divides the observation session into intervals. Each interval is scored using partial interval recording, whole interval recording, and momentary time sampling (at the beginning of the following interval).

Usage

augmented_recording(BS, interval_length, rest_length = 0)

Arguments

BS	object of class behavior_stream
interval_length	time length of each interval.
rest_length	portion of each interval to exclude from observation. Default is zero. See details.

Details

Each behavior stream is divided into intervals of length interval_length. The last rest_length of each interval is excluded from observation. For example, for a stream length of 100, interval_length = 20, and rest_length = 5, the first interval runs from [0,15), the second interval runs from [20,35), etc.

Value

A matrix with rows equal to the number of intervals per session and columns equal to the number of behavior streams in BS.

Examples

BS <- r_behavior_stream(n = 5, mu = 3, lambda = 10, 
                       F_event = F_exp(), F_interim = F_exp(), stream_length = 100)
augmented_recording(BS, interval_length = 20)
