relstabR Documentation

Computes the "relative pace stability" of a vector of syllable durations.

Description

The vector must contain at least 20 syllables.

Usage

relstab(x, kind = "5_12", omit = FALSE)

Arguments

x

The input vector containing syllable durations.

kind

Should the relative stability be computed for intervals $5..12$ (kind = "5_12") or $13..20$ (kind = "13_20").

omit

Should NA intervals be removed before computing the relative pace stability? Please note that one NA value in a syllable duration vector means that relstab(kind="5_12") will compute the stability of syllables 5-13 or 6-13 instead of 5-12 when the NA value is removed, which is likelly not what you want.

Value

A single numeric value indicating the relative pace stability, or NA if the vector was not long enough.
