Divides given rate or magnitude data into blocks of optimal bin sizes, for specified shower, period of days, minimum and maximum bin sizes, number of meteors.

data |
data frame consisting of visual meteor rate data. |
date.start |
character vector or factor specifying start date, given in |
date.end |
character vector or factor specifying end date, given in |
shw |
character string consisting of three capital letters which represent meteor shower code. |
kmin |
numeric vector specifying minimum bin size, in degrees of solar longitude. By default, it is equal to 0.01. Minimum accepted value is 0.001. |
kmax |
numeric vector specifying maximum bin size, in degrees of solar longitude. By default, it is equal to 1. Maximum accepted values is 5. |
num |
numeric vector specifying total number of meteors per interval. Minimum accepted value is 1. |
Data is divided into blocks using optimal bin size algorithm. For each block of data, it searches for an optimal bin size between minimum bin size kmin
and maximum bin size kmax
with total number of meteors per bin num
. If there are not enough meteors, a maximum bin size is used. For further calculations, only observing intervals with lengths smaller or equal to optimal bin are used.
List containing blocks of rate or magnitude data of optimal bin sizes.

## Consider time period around the maximum, 21th to 25th October,
## min bin size 0.16 degrees (4 hours), max bin size 1 degree,
## number of meteors equals 100
## First select rate data for Orionids activity from 21th to 25th October,
## limiting magnitudes above 5, radiant elevation above 20 degrees,
## percentage of clouds below 20
