toInterval: Collapse a dataset to a target time interval

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

Description

Use this function to change the time between measurements of a DAM dataset (can only be used to increase the interval between measurements). When compressing data to the new set of timepoints, data is aggreagated by either mean or sum.

Usage

toInterval(obj, target, units, aggregateBy)

Arguments

obj	A valid DAM experiment object
target	What time interval should the resulting dataset be?
units	The units used by the "target" parameter. Can be one of the following: "seconds", "minutes", "hours", "days"
aggregateBy	When aggregating multiple timepoints' worth of data, should data be averaged or summed? Can be one of the following: "sum", "average"

Value

Returns a DAM S4 object, with measurments at the specified time interval.

Examples

getInterval(DAM_DD)
returnedDAM <- toInterval(DAM_DD, 1, units = "hours", aggregateBy = "sum")
getInterval(returnedDAM)
