In PALkitchen/activPAL: Advanced Processing and Chart Generation from activPAL Events Files

Generate event file summaries from a folder of activPAL events files

Description

activity.summary.by.period processes all the events files (format *Events.csv) in a folder and produces a summary table giving a breakdown across consecutive periods of a specified duration during the day. The output generated matches the output format obtained from using the Daily summaries export in PALanalysis / PALbatch

The generated summary activity table for each events file is saved to a csv file, while an additional csv file containing the summaries across all the processed events files is also saved.

If the window duration is not a factor of 24, some summary period may encompass events spanning two distinct days

Usage

activpal.summary.by.period(
  location_folder,
  output_folder,
  window_duration = 24
)

Arguments

location_folder	The filepath for the folder where the events files to be processed are saved
output_folder	The filepath for the folder where the csv summary files are saved
window_duration	The size of each bucket in hours that the data is to be summarised. Default - 24 hours.
