Calculating yank for force data

Description

Calculates yank as a measure of the change in force per unit of time.

Usage

yank(time, force ...)

Arguments

time	Numeric values representing the time elapsed in units of seconds.
force	Numeric values representing the force measured at each time point.

Details

These procedures follow the methodology described in Lin et al. 2019.
