calcSurvivalTime: Calculate time of death

In kazi11/actmon: A tool for parsing output produced by TriKinetics' Drosophila Activity Monitor.

Description

This method determines at which point an animal died during an experiment. This is computed by finding the last time period in which an animal moved. If an animal continued moving (and was alive) until the end of an experiment, this function returns NA for that animal.

Usage

calcSurvivalTime(obj, ..., endThresh = 4)

Arguments

obj	A valid DAM S4 object.
endThresh	An optional parameter specifying how long (in hours) an animal must remain motionless before it can be considered "dead." Does not affect the index of death.

Value

Returns the index at which animals in a dataset died. Returns NAs for animals that remained alive at experiment conclusion.

Examples

calcSurvivalTime(DAM_DD)
