In saccadr: Extract Saccades via an Ensemble of Methods Approach

Differentiate x and y and compute change amplitude via an algorithm proposed by Nyström and Holmqvist (2010) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.3758/BRM.42.1.188")}

Description

Differentiate x and y and compute change amplitude via an algorithm proposed by Nyström and Holmqvist (2010) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.3758/BRM.42.1.188")}. Note that both components and the amplitude are smoothed independently via a Savitzky-Golay filter, so the components may not (probably won't) add up to the amplitude. Note that filtering is sensitive to the presence of NA.

Usage

diff_nh(x, y, trial, sample_rate, options = NULL)

Arguments

x	vector with x coordinates in degrees of visual angle
y	vector with y coordinates in degrees of visual angle
trial	vector with trial index
sample_rate	sample rate in Hz
options	List with method specific options, see Details.

Details

Method options, please refer to Nyström and Holmqvist (2010) for details on parameters and the rationale for default values.

• nh_sg_filter_order Order of Savitzky-Golay filter. Defaults to 2.

Value

data.frame with columns x, y, and amp
