classifyFLAP: Classify flapping flight

In KiranLDA/PAMLr: Suite Of Functions For Manipulating Pressure, Activity, Magnetism, Temperature And Light Data In R

Classify flapping flight

Description

This function uses activity data to classify migratory flapping flight.

Usage

classifyFLAP(dta, period = 12, toPLOT = TRUE, method = "kmeans", tz = "UTC")

Arguments

dta	data stored as a list see str(data(PAM_data)) for example format
period	number of timepoints after which behaviour is considered migratory e.g. for hoopoes, 3x5min = 15 minutes of intense activity is considered flight
toPLOT	can be true or false. If true then threshold is plotted according to plotTHLD()
method	for the time being only supports "kmeans", but will later also include maybe
tz	timezone, default is "UTC"

Value

timetable: a timetable for when the species was migrating or not,

classification: a classification timeseries where datetime corresponds to activity, and

no_movement: the value in classification which corresponds to no movement

low_movement: the value in classification which corresponds to low activity

high_movement: the value in classification which corresponds to high activity

migration: the value in classification which corresponds to migratory flapping flight

threshold: the threshold between low and high activity

Examples

##specify the data location
#data(hoopoe)
## make sure the cropping period is in the correct date format
#start = as.POSIXct("2016-07-01","%Y-%m-%d", tz="UTC")
#end = as.POSIXct("2017-06-01","%Y-%m-%d", tz="UTC")

## Crop the data
#PAM_data= cutPAM(hoopoe,start,end)
#str(PAM_data)

#behaviour = classifyFLAP(dta = PAM_data$acceleration, period = 12)

#col=c("brown","cyan4","black","gold")
#plot(PAM_data$acceleration$date[6000:8000],PAM_data$acceleration$act[6000:8000],
#     col=col[behaviour$classification][6000:8000],
#     type="o", pch=20,
#     xlab="Date",
#     ylab="Activity")
